Yep.. I hadn't found them offered cheaper elsewhere either. Bought direct from them.
All I can say is, "get them." hah. I love mine. Expensive for "floor mats"... but well worth saving your carpet from all the junk your shoes track into the vehicle. They clean up great and hold all your dirt and grime in so it doesn't get elsewhere.
Do it. :yo: Totally worth it for me.

Or go with Husky-liners. They are cheaper and work just as great. I've had mine for about 5 years now and they are pretty much flawless. I don't clean them out much, maybe once a year, and I have put about 75k on them and I don't see any wear on them, even at the heel pivot point.

After stalking you to determine that you're in a 01 4R, you're best bet is just to buy them outright.
Option 1: New for $179.90 + Shipping.
Option 2: Look for 1996 to 2002 4Runner Weathertech used on Craigslist, Ebay, or T4R Classifieds.

I've been scouring the classified adds in a number of places for a while now. Must be a testament to their quality if I can't find any used. Might just be time to bite the bullet! Thanks for all the info guys.

Like EVERYONE states .. they're worth it for either Weathertech or Husky.

My floor mats on my '01 were trashed when I bought it.
If I bought the replacement OEMs, they would wear out again which will bring me back to square one, so I chose to invest in WeatherTechs. They cover a larger surface area and the rear drivetrain hump in the back, and can be cleaned with little effort.
P.S. there is a viable alternative to WeatherTechs "special" cleaning product to clean the floor mats. I found out that Scrubbin' Bubbles will work just as well, and it will not discolor the floor mats. It costs about $7 a can. Use a soft bristle brush like a toothbrush.

I'm a fan of the Weathertechs - see the post linked above for more info on them. I would buy the first and second row. I would not recommend the cargo bay liner.

Care to elaborate on the cargo liner? Issues with yours?

The cargo liner just doesn't seem to fit very well from the photos I've seen. Maybe just too much area for the material used.
Photo I found on Google...
No issues with the first and second row. They fit like a glove. You can get black, tan or grey. Below is a photo of black I found on Google. I did not find a photo of a gray set, so someone may want to add a gray example to this thread. I liked the Weathertechs so much that I sold my OEM Limited carpeted floor mats that were in excellent condition.

Good to know about the cargo mat. I can do without one of those for now. My OEM mats are just about shot. I thought about buying more OEM mats at one time, but like others said, they'll have the same fate as the originals.
Thanks for all the photos. Just made the itch to buy grow a little more!

Thanks for the link! Still thinking I'll go the WeatherTech route, but it looks like they have a sale on them as well. Free shipping too.

The tan shows darker dirt more than black, but the tan hides lighter dirt better too. I have tan ones and usually just brush mine out with a broom. I went over them the other day with a scrub brush and some dawn though and they came out nearly perfect.
My mats (1st, 2nd, cargo, and Vent Visors) are directly from Weathertech on their web page, they were bought for me as a Christmas Gift.
I went with black and I have Oak Interior, I wanted to keep the cabin darker and was afraid the Tan wouldn't match well anyway.
I would have bought them myself had my folks not got them for me, only thing that held me back was the price (WOWZA) but once you get them in you know where your money went. The cargo liner has already saved my carpets from mud sand garbage juice old oil and gear oil.
Would highly recommend them, they are flexible yet hold their shape well. Flexible enough that you don't have to remove the liner to comfortably take a nap across the down folded seats!
Let me know if you wan specific pictures of the "Black on Tan".

I've had both, and the Weathertech fit much better and provide more coverage IMO. The Husky rears are two separate pieces, where the WT is just one. I still have the Husky cargo liner though, and it's fine. I also have the black liners with oak interior, and really like the way it looks.
Good to know. I would rather have the WeatherTechs one piece rear than the Husky two. I used to have Huskys in a Jeep, and they did slide around a bit. They did hold up better than anything else on that rig though! ; )

I only have the husky fronts, and they are great. They don't cover as high as the weathertechs, but I don't see that as an issue.
The weathertechs I have seen were a much softer, more flexible rubber. I was pretty worried about how long that stuff would last. I've seen a number of those that have split open around some of the trough features, though I think that was on an old design, so they may have improved that.
