Been trying to find these on the parts diagrams and not having much luck. These are the plastic or rubber flaps that hang above the frame rail, separating the inner fender from the engine compartment. Need them for both sides, plus would be nice to have the # for the plastic plugs that hold them in place. Doubt it makes a difference, but they are for a 96 LX 450.
 
Time is money

While that’s is true. The amount of time it takes to trace out and cut some bulk sheet material offsets the searching for the part, the premium OEM price, and shipping.

It’s not like anyone cares that splash guards are OEM. I wouldn’t.
 
I know this is semantics but I believe those flaps are much more than splash guards. I understand they are crucial (not sure to what degree) to directing airflow though the engine for cooling purposes.

Yes, very good point, I've heard that before and the 80 series needs all the help it can get with staying cool.
 
If you do get these, use them as templates and cut some more out of old inner tubes. Mine ripped out in under a year. It’d probably be best to just get the OE plastic-ish ones vs rubber. The ones I cut myself have held up better than the RAD ones I spent a hundred bucks on.
 
Has anyone looked at these? My last OEM one fell off somewhere a week or so ago, :lol:

I have them, they fit and work great...stayed put on a 800 mile round trip with 3 days of wheeling in the middle.

I also have the ARK rear mudflap deletes on my 5th gen 4Runner daily...

WOW? A whole 800 miles?

:lol:

Good to know. The other aftermarket ones I've seen haven't gotten great reviews over the years.

Well, that was one trip just after I installed them…I think they were on when I did 1600 mile round trip to GSMTR this summer too… I would buy again tomorrow if I had another rig in need … ;) 🦀
