I just posted my intro thread so now to questions. The new LJ is remarkably rust free but will not be unless I do some clean up. The fenders are drilled for factory fender flares and it looks like the rear flare mounts were used at one point. As delivered to me are some aftermarket screw on flares. They look okay but are just secured with a couple sheetmetal screws in the finder lip. No rust yet but if a salt truck gets within a mile I expect the flares may end up in ditch once the screw holes rot out. I will in the short term touch things up with POR but in my mind the preferred alternative is to go back to factory flares with factory mounts with some proper rust preventative work.
So my question is, is the right way to go? I don't plan to install larger tires. I see several foreign sources of claimed OEM Toyota Fender "extensions" with a wide a variety of prices.
