    Help!!! My dad added fender flairs to his truck many many years ago and when one got damaged he took it to a shop and they threw it away. these were metal but I'm willing to get anything I can find that fits. I have searched everywhere but I can't find any for a 97 2wd truck, plenty for 4wd. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I didn't think they made flares like that for the 97s...there are no mounting holes on your front fenders to attach them too like the 01-04 Tacomas have. Maybe he just made the 01-04 ones fit?

    I agree with Ryan, those flares are probably aftermarket & that style did not come on 95.5-97, and never on 5 lugs.

    I forget but I believe there was a company that sold aftermarket 01-04 style flares for early gens that didn't need the OEM holes to mount. I believe they were fiberglass not metal. But whatever I don't think they make em anymore & you'd have to buy a full set anyway.

    Bushwacker used to make 01-04 OEM style flares as well as the slimmer 98-00 OEM style flares. Plastic, not sure if they still make em. Still you can't buy just one.
