Are there seriously no tail light guards available?

My gawd, some of you guys are brutal.
Taste is a personal thing. The OP works hard, saves $$, buys a 4Runner and wants to do what "he" thinks looks good.

Having said the above, I PERSONALLY hate the damned things. Had 'em on my FJ. They rubbed up against the paint and started rust spots. Washing the truck was a pain, couldn't get my wash mitt in there to properly clean the lens.

 

Problematic? What issues have you had?

There are tons of accessories depending on what you want.

Cheaply made? Are you talking about the lack of electronic gizmos? Mechanically, they're still considered one of the most reliable vehicles made.

I'd hate to see how disappointed someone is going to be if they switch to a Bronco hoping for a less problematic vehicle.

 

I believe he was being facetious

 

It's hard to tell sometimes. You're probably right, and I walked right into it.

But, it seems like every few weeks on Tacomaworld someone joins the forum just to warn everyone about how unreliable or (insert fake problem here) the 3rd gen Tacomas are. It makes you think people are serious, especially when they're new to the forum.

I was thinking maybe it was starting to leak into this forum.

 

Cya

 

The trick is to not touch the 4runner. If you do you will scratch or dent it. I'm with you on not buying another. Once the TuRD rots out, I will restore/build something pre 90's and forget all about the nanny state elections.

Something like this?

 

Like the full-size, but maybe go scout this time.

 

Nice!

 

the Forum can be helpful also

 

May need these if I go with the rago CB antenna mount.

 

Easy with the posts homie... they will think you are a bot from some other 4Runner website.

 

Buy a Fix Or Repair Daily Explorer and go insane with all the problems &recalls. The Bronco should be interesting...Ford needs some good news

 

Guards like these are nothing but a snag point to me. I don't like snag points. I can almost hear the sound of sheet metal bending if something gets caught in that pointed bottom corner.

 

Yeah I’m with you I have already replaced a tail light backing up from a ditch from a tree branch that speared it I think something protective would have saved me a few bucks
Some of the quotes make me think that a lo pro or full bumper would be useless in their thoughts

 

Ya'll are over thinking this tail light guard thing, and talkin too much hypothetical shit. The man just wants to not have to buy an expensive tail light replacement, perhaps again, and guards will help against potential scratches and smashes. Of course they're not perfect, and bumping the guard hard could damage the body instead of light, but that's not the point lol.

Anyone actually able to provide links to tail light guards, or everyone just talkin shit

 

Like what kinda doucher comments "personally I'm not a tail light guard kinda guy. I'm actually this type of man". Nobody asked you what kinda guy you are dude get outta here

 

Giggle. A year old. Filled with self righteous elitist asshats proclaiming why they are right. Sounds kinda DNC'ish.

More so, how are you going to mount them. Wranglers have external bolts to mount to the tub. 3M tape? #giggle.

 

LOL
I agree with lots of ppl on here, seems like there's no 5th gen taillight guards for a reason; could make a big awkward light worse n outweigh the pros. I def wanna see one installed and how!

 

I'm so glad no one makes them.
