WHY would you wanna take the flares off of the second gen????

Haha very true. Never painted mine and you can barely tell the difference in color

 

True that man, I only know cause I’m used to glass, but if you arnt close it would be really hard to tell. Would you ever consider painting them?

 

Just cut above the holes in the fenders and call it good haha

 

i like the look of the holes after removing the flares

 

you should see what a 3rd gen 4runner look like without limited flares

 

This looks easy to parallel park.

Looks terrible ​

 

You can tell when you’re up close but it doesn’t bother me enough to justify the money to paint them. I’ll never paint them haha

 

you could also swap fenders with five lug tacomas. The five lug tacomas don’t have flares or holes and look very clean.

 

I was thinking about this, have yet to see any swapped onto a 6 lug. I looked at prices online, wasn't too terrible.

 

If your taking off the flares or cutting fenders to fit bigger tires your probably wheeling hard and they’re just going to get beat up anyway

 

This ^^ I took mine off because I had to cut anyway.

 

No hate, I love the look but....

 

I recently got my first dent. I was bummed at first but I’m getting 2 air lockers and regeared out of it. So it’s all good

Plus I have to hack the fenders up to fit 35’s and a high clearance rear bumper anyway

 

It’s really personal preference. Kind of like how some people love debadging or derping. Looks great to them, but looks gay to others.

 

It would if you filled those holes and painted it
I have no issues with the body lines just the point of not either going with a replacement or fixing the holes. That’s all I’m sayin man

 

The. Body lines are fine. I like them. And the holes don’t show up on the black bad at all but why just run bolts through. It just kinda looks half assed to me when they put the bolts in or don’t fill the holes

 

Yeah exactly. Or that. Smfh.

 

No your all good haha it was originally a long bed. It will still take me and the wife on a 4 day camping and wheeling trip just fine though
