IDK. Don't touch the truck with your clothes sounds like a good plan? :noidea:

After Labor Day you won't have to worry about it.

What's funny is that yesterday I did notice dirt on my shorts in the same spot. Couldn't decide whether it came from the tire (loading the kid carseat in a tight parking spot) or the bumper (putting the stroller in the back, along with the groceries). Dads can run errands too, sorry you've managed to convince your wives otherwise.

I just don't wear pants :eyebrows:
as if i purposely think to do it.:flame:
the cargo area is huge with no 3rd row seat or tray. even with car organizers in the back it still slides around. unless you have long arms, there's no way you aren't going to lean against the bumper to get something that might have slid to the back of the second row seat.
its probably a moot point for people who don't have kids or rarely need to throw things in the back but im constantly opening and closing the rear door daily.
ahh this is what i was looking for.
Thanks for the link. Will help with the dog hairs too.
ha awesome.

This is pretty much THE solution (EDIT: The canvasback with the extension), unless you wanted to wear an apron or something.
I haven't had an issue with my pants getting dirty, but I can say the distance from the back of the bumper to the actual cargo area is roughly twice as far as it was on my Xterra.
Anytime. I don’t have the extension but the liners in general are great.

Dirt on the bumper
I think I see the problem Crazy One. You live in New Jersey. The streets are covered with high taxes and gov't corruption.
And you have 3 toddlers. What makes you think you'll ever have clean pants?
:lol:
The Canvas Back bed liner looks like a good solution. I've been using a canvas tarp in my cargo area that folds out like the canvas back. It's something I had in my gear, so no cost. A cheap moving pad or thick blanket will work too. These all serve to keep the original carpet clean and new looking.
Yes, the back side of an SUV gathers dirt. I was out 4 wheeling on a dusty road last weekend and the whole tailgate and back bumper was covered in fine dust. It didn't blow off at freeway speeds going home either. The back end forms a vortex that sucks dirt.
Good luck.

ITT.
Fashion Advice on a 4runner forum.
How big are your work bags that you have to lean in that far. Get a cargo net that hooks onto the factory cargo net hooks to keep smaller items closer to the hatch. Use a towel to drape over the bumper before you lean in like others have suggested. Its not hard to get creative to keep yourself clean.
I assume this has happened more than twice or thrice. After the 3rd time you'd think one would change the way of doing something. I'm not the tallest guy and yes I've gotten my pants a little dusty from getting crap out of the cargo. Would I have ever thought about making this thread complaining that my grocery getter got me dirty? Nah.
Man, 4runners are becoming the "trendy" vehicle.

but your pants are getting dirty. you gotta put it back to stock and sell it.
I can throw in the dirty pants as a certificate of authenticity. Plus the lugs. Cant get a better deal than that.
Has to be 4 inches above the knee or doesnt count.

I have two pit-mixes and don't want them gouging my bumper with their dragon claws (they don't like getting their nails trimmed) so I leave a thick blanket in the back big enough to let it dangle over bumper when I load them. It also keeps the cargo area a little cleaner with all the drool. Same could be used like above to keep you clean.

Simple: Keep a bright colored rag right there in the cargo area. When you see it you will be reminded to wipe off the dirt from the bumper before you lean on it.
