    Really wish a company would make matching rears. Just the front looks kinda goofy to me.

    Front looks badass though.

    Tons of people on Instagram have them, they look good and seem to have a good rep. When I eventually go long travel with bigger tires I’ll be opting for them.

    Matching the rear is the biggest factor for me. Maybe a bit OCD..? Lol

    Cannot wait to see this. Please make a thread about this when you do it. It looks mean as hell!

    Bought some for my 4th gen. Have not installed them, so no review on fitment, but the email and phone correspondence was good and fenders were delivered undamaged on time.
    Rear fenders on a 4Runner are a full commitment to the expense and install. You can't just unbolt the OEM, they would have to be cut off and the doors are incorporated into the design.
    Not very many people willing to go that far is why no one builds the glass. I think there have been a few body shop customs done over the years, but not very many. That would be the most cost effective process instead of trying to fit a molded piece onto your rig imho.

    I used to have fiberglass fenders on my Ford Ranger. The fenders were not from this particular company.

    It was a bit of a love/hate relationship.

    Loved the look and functionality of being able to accommodate a wider track width.

    Hated the inconsistencies in fitment and the squeaking they can produce going down the road.

    Sometimes the can flex and crack paint.

    High quality, robust fiberglass fenders are well worth the extra money.
