OEM S-Runner Fender flare help requested!!

I found these fender flare perusing the ads online, can anyone tell me if these would be the same as S-Runner fender flares and if they would mount up to my 2002 regular cab?

Here is what I know, they came off a 99 and have a part # 7587104010

 

each flare has a different part # and use a rubber fender welting between the flare & body. They will bolt up perfectly on the 95-2004 4x4 & Pre-Runners. 2 wheel drive models had a different front fender contour and only the rear flares would fit.

 

Thanks for the reply, would these be the same as an S-Runner by chance do you know?

Seems like they look a bit slimmer than the late model flares.. but not sure if there are only 2 type of flares for the 1st gen Tacoma's. My eyeball says there are early slim models, and late wider models but I am not sure.

What would one pay for a set of flares like this normally anyhow? This is the only I have seen?

 

The part number you mention, when put into a reverse part search like this: https://www.toyodiy.com/parts/xref?s=7587104010&mU=on
Shows the years and and chassis codes and models that part number originally came on. It looks like that specific part was used even in 96 and 97, so either the S-runner flares were used in those years as well, or that part number is not for an S-runner only flare

 

Thanks for chiming in with another confirmation that it would fit from 95-2004, as @zooma-loom stated.

I am still wondering if these are indeed S-Runner flares though, and I am not sure how to translate the body codes listed into an Srunner or not.

I actually did a part search on good old parts.toyota.com, and this is what got me wondering. They list all the trucks this fits and the description does not seem to include the S-Runner - if you look for the non 4x4 V6 MT (Srunner came only in manual, I believe) EXTRA CAB:



Then I tried searching by vehicle pretending I had the elusive SRunner in my garage, 2002 2WD V6 MT EXTRA CAB keyword "flare" and nothing popped up, not even a discontinued part. Sure seems odd that Toyota would whip up special fender flares for the S-Runner seeing all the models it was used for over the years, but then again it was a special truck indeed and maybe the most rare of all Tacoma's EVER?! I am wondering if these are so rare they forgot to mention it in the parts references since I cant find a Srunner specific flare anywhere.

However, using the good old fashioned eye ball and common sense sure looks like the S-Runner and early prerunner/4WD flares were pretty darn similar looking if not the same thing, and that would cost them quite a bit of bucks to make for a truck they made in very limited numbers.

99 4WD/PreRunner - narrow flares


2000 Srunner - narrow flares


2001 4WD/PreRunner - wide flares


It may be difficult to confirm from given info if they are indeed S-runner editions, maybe some one can chime in that has had or seen both in person?

Anyhow, I figured I may like the look of some narrow flares when I get upgraded wheels and tires down the road. I really like to stay all oem especially with highly visible items, and once I saw some prices these things are going for I quickly ordered them up and they are on their way!! I got them all shipped for barely more than the cost of one from the dealer as seen above so this seemed like a fair price to me even if I dont end up using them.

 

The slimmer style flares first use was on the 1998 TRD packages (4x4 & Pre-Runner Models only) & they will fit all 97 & earlier 1st Gen Tacomas, so fitment is 1995-2004 4x4, Pre-Runner. The larger style flares first use was 2001 or 2002 models. Some of the slimmer flares were color matched to the body color from the factory. S runner models showed up in 2000 I believe. I prefer the smaller version flares and are highly sought after.

 

You will also need the rubber welting's called "PAD". They may come with the new flares. Please post pics when you get them.

 

The condition will dictate the value, things like having to re-finish/repair, purchasing new "PADS"/Fender welting's, $$hipping, etc all are factored in. If no cracks and just need paint & weltings I would say $300.00+ for all 4

 

Thanks for this, I too prefer the narrower flares, especially for my little 2wd regular cab. Highly sought after indeed!

 

I spent a little bit of time investigating this wheel moulding stuff. I searched through the different VIN codes/chassis codes to try and find a second additional part number for those fender flares. I didn't see any different part numbers. Doesn't mean they're not different. I'm just saying I didn't find a different part number going through the chassis codes after starting with 2001, which is when S-Runner started. In that pic you posted of the black s-runner with 'narrow flares', I think that's an illusion because of the lighting/shadowing. I believe them to be as wide as the standard common taco flare. I looked at a few different pics of s-runners and they all had same width flares as the normal taco. What I did see that helps it look smaller is being paint matched, smooth, and glossy and stuff. You kinda lose that starting line of the flare against the fender especially with the black on black. On the other colors it's a little easier to recognize.

 

More great info, thanks again! They are coming with bolts, but not sure about the rubber welts. I will definitely post pics here, you got it!

Great points about the paint as these look to be painted black vs raw plastic. I am kind of hoping the black will look good enough and match with my other black trim and bumpers. Thanks for the pricing too, that was right about where I paid for them shipped so seems fair to me.

 

Just an FYI. I just had some fender damage repaired on my 2002 TRD and the molding that goes between the flare and the fender is just called a flare pad. They are $23.76 per corner.

 

Totally agree with you based on my similar searching and looking at pictures online only. I can walk around the block and see a bunch of Tacomas, but no Srunners anywhere of course to compare. I looked at the unpainted flares vs the painted for hours on many pics and angles, and want to say they appear to look the same in shape and size. I think your right, the unpainted sticks out maybe due to color contrast but not really size. Still not fully confirmed though, its up to the forum experts to define this once and for all!

There definitely seems to be at least two fender flare sizes for Tacoma's, early narrow and late wider from what I can tell and have read so far.

 

Good to know, I think the pics above show there may be a strip of rubber behind the flare but this may come in handy if those are not there, or if they're dry and cracked up from age I may replace them anyhow.

 

If you still have your doubts, I would ask @Sperrunner what the chassis code is for his S-runner, or even close up pics of his flares, but with chassis code you can plug it in and look up the exact flare that goes with the s-runner chassis code. I won't waste my time, but you can do that to confirm what, I believe, we already know that they are the same size

 

Yep. Exactly. That rubber gasket in between the flare and fender is what Toyota calls a 'Pad'.

 

S runner flares are fiberglass

 

In another flare thread somebody used this and said it is 'nearly identical' and worked well to replace the 'Pad'. I haven't tried it yet but saved the link.

Haha!! I dont think I have too many doubts as I purchased these things already, just dont want to say they are fully confirmed either I suppose. I tried the body lookup SRunner = 5TEVN and that didnt work either, hence why I turned to asking folks that have both in view to confirm.

The internet has failed me, only real life experience can reveal the truth once and for all...!!

 

Whoa now, fiberglass?! You have one of these in your possession or how do you know this?! The plot thickens...
