Default Whee lwell rubber guards

Noticed my driver's side front guard was cracked and falling to pieces. Had planned on ordering a new OEM one but saw these on the GXOR group... https://radrubberdesign.com/product/...0-gx460-prado/
Ordered Friday and they arrived today (how, it's a USPS holiday?!?). They are nice and thick and come with the required hardware to install. I won't have a chance to install them until Friday at which point I will update this post and add some pictures. Hadn't seen these on the forum yet so hopefully it helps out someone else.

Those are nice and appear to be really stout. They appear to be about half the price of OEM too.

Mine are still in good shape last time I checked but will definitely keep these in mind when I need to replace mine.

Easy install. Could probably do it without removing the wheel but I opted to.









Will see how they hold up. Another OEM one cracked when removing it. I think the close proximity to the exhaust manifold gets to them after awhile.

Ignore my halfassed attempts to clean up the frame... was just seeing what a bit of elbow grease would get me.

Lightbulb Front fender well rubber broke

Can someone please tell me the part numbers for those rubber pieces? Both sides of the front fender wells tore and broke for no reasons (perhaps muds hitting it)

Thanks.

https://www.yotaliners.com/ (same or better than factory at a fraction of the price)

Yota Liners™ Series A Splash Seals

Series A currently fits over 85 models of vehicles including all models of 2010-2018 4Runner, all 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser, all 2003-2009 Lexus GX470, and all 2010-2018 Lexus GX460 without KDSS. We do offer splash shields/seals for models with KDSS here. KDSS is less common optional feature on select 4Runners and Lexus GX460's/GX470's. You can confirm this by turning the key one click and see if there is a KDSS light on your dashboard before you turn the vehicle on. Each of our shields and sets of shields comes with retaining clips for free. (Dealer charges up to $5.50 each. Ouch.)

used them on my previous 4R, great product and if the 460s ever go bad I'm going the above route for replacement. Series D for KDSS GX460 is needed due to KDSS

Have these on my rig and they are by far a huge improvement over the OEM offering:

Thanks BOTH for your replies.

I'm ready to buy the Yota liners until McDavis posted the Rad design. The RAD is 1/8" thick which is much thicker than OEM.

Which one is better? $65 vs. $50 is no different so it's all about quality.

The Rad Rubber are stout. They're quite plyable too and I'm not sure how they could tear unless they completely dry out. Is it necessary? Dunno, but it'll definitely keep gravel, etc out of the bay.
