    Definitely a good decision on the black center caps

    Love the long bed sticker!

    Slight discrepancies you've probably considered to make them match even more:
    • BFG tires,
    • Chrome door handles,
    • Black mirror caps,
    • Red locking hub / color offset,
    • Amber fog lights,
    • Passenger side antenna,
    • Color matching fender flares
    Otherwise, looks awesome! :thumbsup:

    I'm fairly certain that I have a set of rear mud flaps from my 2nd gen that have the 4WD logo on them, if you want, I can find them, they're yours, you pay shipping.

    Well done. Deep bright blue and white wheels work well together.

    That is super kind! Do you know if they would be a straight swap? I mean how complicated can fender flares be but who knows.

    Mudflaps are different for the generations. You can get decals for the OEM flaps to look the part.

    [​IMG]IMG_1790 by Mike M, on Flickr

    This is an OEM 3G mud flap.

    This is where I sourced it.

    https://importequipment.com/product...-decals-4x4-4wd-trd-also-fits-fj-4runner-2016

    I actually bought more than one set thinking they wouldn’t last but I’ve had this set since at least 2018, maybe 2017 and have gone through Northeast winters without issue.

    Edit, the slight chip in the “D” is the only flaw and that showed up years ago.

    I get "truck most preferred by terrorists" all the time. I hope they enjoy their $90k F-150s that make stupid "bing" sounds when you back up. I'll die before I pay for a power tailgate.

    Nice. Oftentimes the retro look can seem overbearing. This is tasteful.
