I just went sideways going up a mountain road while it was pouring. I almost flipped my Land Cruiser but luckily I only went into the bushes. I went maybe 30 feet in and so far the only damages have been the passenger side running board, passenger side mud flap, drivers fender and drivers side fender flare.
The running boards do their job to protect the rocker panel, so that should be ok. The mud flap should be ok, but I need help finding a drivers side fender and the flare for the most reasonable price.
I haven't been in the Cruiser scene for over a year and I just checked the sites i could remember ooff the top of my head. Came up with several options, but more is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Thanks ElJefe. I wish Cruiserparts had some clear lights in stock. Maybe in a few years tghey'll update their page.

Hwn blt- sorry to hear of the damage, although it sounds like you were lucky to suffer only minimal damage after such an incident. How did this happen? Was it caused by hydroplaning? What kind of tires (brand/size)? What speed were you going at the time? I'd be interested in details and I've always been curious about wet weather handling.
 
I'm looking for the green. Not sure what the side molding is or what, but this is what it looks like. I popped most of it out with a stock car jack. I'm going to try pull the rest with a slide hammer, bondo, and do a cheap touch up.

I might be able to fiberglass the fender flare back together, but I am actively still looking for the bvest deals. I see some good deals, but not sure on the shipping to Hawaii yet.

I hydroplaned and went sliding on my drivers side, then it turned to the passenger side and turned completely back into the drivers side and I went sideways straight into the bushes.
I currently have Michelin LTX A/Ts, 265/75/16. Same set we had before after we changed the original set. This pair has less then 2k miles and whenever i'm driving in rain I can feel the tires slipping. They gum up in mud and they're ok out on the rocks, although the sidewalls slice up easy as most tires.
The day I crashed, the Land Cruiser was losing a lot of traction on the road and sliding. Speed was a factor though.
