Plastic "splash guards" pieces missing from Front/Driver wheel well

[RosettaRock1]

While changing the oil, I noticed some plastic "splash guards" pieces missing from Front/Driver wheel well. Here is a pic of one of them:



Both pcs that are located in the FR/DR well are damaged. Is there a good option for replacing these things?

I can't seem to be able to find them on rockauto. Is OEM the only route?
Thanks

Sry in advance for the pic, if large.

The parts that you are referring to are the front fender apron seal (smaller piece) and front fender splash shield (larger piece). The part #'s are as follows:
LH FAS: 53736D
LH FSS: 53886H
RH FAS: 53735B
RH FSS: 53886H (yes, same as the left hand)
I purchased each side for about $40.00 from Village Toyota Parts | Toyota parts online

There is no aftermarket alternative, HOWEVER, a T4R.org member (4WDFTW), made templates for these pieces, and put them into a PDF available to members in case they want to make their own out of rubber or neoprene. If you PM him, I'm sure he will be happy to email you the PDF!

Here is a link to the thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/95901-fender-liner-part-number-s-4.html


Good luck!

Send me your email and I can send you a pdf pattern to cut your own. This is a full size pdf so you will need to print it on an 11x17 sheet. Then use the pattern to cut them out of any material. I have seen guys use plastic trash can, lids, but I used the belt from a broken treadmill.

I used some oil resistant rubber from Grainger:

GRAINGER APPROVED Rubber,Vinyl,1/8 In Thick,12 x 24 In - Rubber Sheets and Strips - 1MXU1|360-1/8B - Grainger Industrial Supply

"Oil-resistant Vinyl Rubber, Plain Back, 1/8" Thk, 12" X 24", 80a Durometer "

Part number on grainger.com is: 1MXU1

I think I put around $20 bucks into it (I think 2 sheets did it??? 1 sheet is ~ $11.50 ).

If you need the PDFs PM me (thanks acronin2!!!)

I found the item number at Grainger.com.

It is updated above.

We have been emailing the pdf files around to each other.

i used some of the floor mats from wal mart that are sold as universal/ trim to desired size. Nice rubber material, easy to handle and easy on the wallet.

 

[gone_primal]

I could use the PDF template as well. I ripped one of mine this weekend replacing my shocks and UCAs.

 

[80jay]

[beliy25]

I used this same stuff for mine but got from McMaster-Carr. I love it. It stays shiny and doesn't absorb dirt or anything. 2 pieces is enough to make all 4 liners.

Could you upload them to a filesharing site like dropbox or megafileupload or something then post the link?

 

[truckhigh]

for the people who did it . do you wish you got the 3/16?

 

[V8Man]

Pm me with your email address and I can send you the PDF files to make your splash guards.

I'll try that. Great idea!

for the people who did it . do you wish you got the 3/16?

I'd say that might work better. But for me the thickness I used was at the limit of flexibility at 1/8".

Thicker will work fine, but you'll have a bigger pain in the ass when getting them fitted up.

3/16 would really be solid, though!

IMHO you could even try going a bit thinner and get away with it.

If you do 3/16", double check your templates and fine tune them before you start cutting the rubber. Save yourself some headaches.
