This weekend, Tim showed me his neat fender flares to make his rig street legal. With a few changes, I adapted his to work on my 4runner with the cage.
1) Go pickup a semi-truck mudflap, 2x3ft is a good length. They're available at most NAPA stores. (I know the Bothell one has a few left ;-))
2) Each slice is 5 7/8s" wide, I used some masking tape and a box cutter to make the cuts. Its fairly straight if you have a steady hand.
3) Once they're cut into slices, match them on the truck. If you have a cage like me, get some metal self-tapping screws. drill a starter hole. Make sure you measure right, or else you'll have floppy fenders!
Once done, it'll look like this!
And there ya go. Parts list:
1: 13/64s drill bit -- ~$3
2: 16 self tapping screws -- ~.017 at mclendons
3: NAPA mudflap -- $10
-------------------------------
Total price: ~$16 for all 4 corners.
