    When I took the front splash guards off my current build, they crumbled in my hand. That's why I won't be putting them back on.
    Obviously, they are prone to this. A stock 2013 Limited w/ X-REAS is what i'm after.
    What did you choose?

    Ah, to me, mud flaps and splash guards are the same thing. Sounds like you're talking about fender liners, no wonder there haven't been any other replies. I think if you do a search for "fender liners", instead of "splash guards", you might have a better chance of finding what you're looking for.

    I had an F150 that I had to buy fender liners for. Pic is how the truck came:

    With the fender liners:

    There's fender liners (photo shows the Toyota barcode of a fender liner). There are mud flaps that usually hang down below the fender, mud guards that are usually part of the underliner, and splash guards. The photo shows the front splash guard missing and the rear (behind the shock and spring) intact. Front only.
    I've been looking at ARK and Yoda. Made in USA. I'm wondering if there's any favorite go to here.??

    You might revise your search somewhat - Limited models do not have KDSS, they have Xreas suspension. I cannot imagine, however, either would make a difference in choosing wheel well liners.

    I stand corrected. My excuse is I was thinking just that, and I poseted the other. lol
    I agree it wouldn't make any difference anyway.
    Very soon I will DELETE X-REAS anyway.

    I debated between Ark and Rad Rubber. Rad Rubber was cheaper but not quite the coverage of Ark. I went with Rad Rubber.IMG_5463.jpg IMG_5462.jpg

    I ended up buying ARK. They have a reputation for a perfect fit. Thank you everyone for your input.

    I replaced the OEM splash guards with the Ark guards which offer much improved coverage and are also made of a much thicker and durable material.

    I went with ARK, and couldn't be more pleased with this product.

    My Rad Rubber is all cracked and broken after several years. Is that Ark material stiff or flexible to accommodate body to frame movement?

    This is actually two pieces rivited together. That's all the flex you will need. This is a quality product.

    I noticed they now offer these:

    2 reviews
    2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner TriXPoly Splash Guards
    $117.37

    Is this what you got, or their original version? They're both the same price.

    ARK is the way if your main concern is keeping debris out of the engine bay. A bit pricey but definitely a quality product.

    I don't think the splash guard changes color...if you select another color, the only thing that changes color is the ARK logo...

    Thanks, will be ordering these as I'm not a fan of the super limited coverage that comes factory.
