Inner wheel well protection?

[jditom]

Doing TRE and shocks. Noticed on PS there are 3 clip on skirts to deflect dirt. On the PS there are 2 but it looks like there might be one missing from over the exhaust?
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks

The missing one would go over the exhaust pipe! If it was there, then you'd have this funny smell!!!

So there should not be one over the exhaust?
Funny I can see the O2 sensor from the wheel well and it looks like rocks can hit it without some protection.

You could put one there but Toyota didn't from the factory. If you did put one there , like Alia176 said, it wouldn't last long and would smell kinda funny.

It looks like one should be there because before the 1FZ came about there was one there, the "new" exhaust routing on the passenger side caused it to be deleted, they did not change the holes in the inner fender when the engien change happened.

Another wheel well curtain trivia, the foreword curtain on the passenger side has a bump out for the steering box on RHD cruisers, they did not bother to make LHD and RHD versions of the wheel well curtains.
