    I've had a really tough time trying to find some used stock fender flares from a 2001-2004 and am trying to avoid shelling out $500 on bushwacker flares.
    I thought I would check to see if anyone has a set they would sell (either OEM or aftermarket that fit 98-2004) in any color. If not, does anyone know of any cheaper alternative to the bushwacker's?

    thanks

    I'm in sc and everytime I go to my local one there are new tacos there. It might just be the lucky one I guess. Ours has a ton of trail rigs and 4x4s

    I had one replaced by a collision center. Aftermarket I believe. I'll pull out my paperwork and see where they got it from. If I can remember to. Curious myself. My other ones are finally starting to fade after the heat gun treatment. Which if you are looking for ones because of fading, heat gun works wonders! I have a writeup somewhere...

    I just bought a 1999 and it has the thin chrome fender trim that I am not a fan of.

    You're pretty lucky to have that at your disposal, I've searched the local yards here in salt lake city for months. They rarely get tacoma's in and they're either already stripped down to the bone or are asking $400 for a used pair.

    I've actually read your post with the heat gun trick so I'm all set with how to restore faded flares! Now if only I could find some to polish up then I would really be in business. Thanks for checking into where yours came from, let me know what you find out if you get around to it.

    The TRD flares would be ideal, I just figured I would have better luck finding the 01-04 flares even though it meant I would likely be trimming to make them fit.

    The TRD fenders are held on by snaps. They can be easily pulled off or put onuby lining up the snaps. Also, the snaps are held in square holes.
    Take a look at this http://www.customtacos.com/forum/11...der-flares.html#/forumsite/20894/topics/46620
