Exact fitment for the 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner (1996–2000). Questions before you buy? Contact us. This part is final sale once shipped because fitment is vehicle-specific — details in our Return Policy.
Fitment, in plain terms
Built for 1996–2000 3rd gen 4Runners (N180/N185) only, and not for 1990–1995 2nd gen trucks. Within that window, trim still matters: factory fender flares, running boards, and lower body cladding differ across SR5, Limited, and other trims, and that changes the stock line a flare has to match.
What it does
Larger tires on wider or offset wheels often poke past the stock body line. Our tire size guide says wide fender flares add coverage, keep trail debris off your paint, and give the truck a wide-body stance that matches the tires.
Install notes
Start with a clean fender lip: clear off old trim adhesive, rust, or a previous flare's hardware before you begin, so the new flares sit flush from the first bolt. Exact hardware and step-by-step instructions ship with the flares, since that detail is worth getting right in front of you.

Questions before you buy
Will these fit my 2001 or 2002 4Runner?
No. The 2001–2002 facelift changed the fender shape these flares are built around — the mounting points and the panel contour both moved — so fitment stops at model year 2000. It is a hard cutoff.
Do I need to drill or cut my fenders?
Generally, no. They are designed to work with the factory fender lip and existing mounting points on 1996–2000 trucks, and your kit's instructions confirm the exact hardware for your flares.
What does shipping cost, and can I return them?
$39.98 flat-rate US shipping, tracked. Flares mount to a specific truck, and our Return Policy is plain: “Anything that mounts to a specific truck is final sale once shipped”. Confirm your 1996–2000 model year before you check out.
