I found a solid deal on a decent 100 series in the south that I'm looking at picking up. Less than 300k on the clock, appears to be regularly maintained with papers. Some surface rust on the differential, and some dings, but otherwise seeming like a very solid truck. There is one thing that I'm unsure of however, and that's a cracked rear fender flare (I'm guessing that's what this is called?). I'm not one to be too picky about body stuff, but this is something I'd want to fix. I've done some light digging though, and can't find any info on how to swap it out, much less even find a replacement part. I was wondering if anyone here could advise on either. Thanks! Pic below

My LC has those as well. I don't know if they were an option or just something dealers added on along with a sunroof bubble (Seems to be mostly a South East thing?). Anyways...most people remove them when they start going missing and or dinged up.
 
These pop up on the classifieds every once in a while when people remove them. They are known to trap a lot of dirt behind them and they wear away the paint where they contact the body. Once they wear through the paint your sheet metal will start to rust.

They were port installed by Southeast region dealers as far as I know.

Also - that break on the rear bumper was probably from a minor collision. The bumper cover looks like it's sitting right against the body. I'd at least inspect for other damage under the bumper cover/mud flap area.

Copy that. This is an out of state purchase for me and the seller hasn't been super responsive to my requests, so I will most likely need to move on from this one
