Is it a good idea to put fender flares made for a 2 door truck on your 4 door Ute? Take a look and see for yourself!
4 Door Hilux Fender Flares
This guy used fibreglass fender flares made for a 2 door on his 4 door 98-04 Hilux LN 165. Since the fender flares mounted to both the cab and the box (or tray) of the vehicle, they were forced to break when they two main body components moved independently. The cab of the Hilux is mounted to the frame with rubber bushings between so the cab can move slightly. The box or tray of this truck is mounted the same way. Effectively, the cab and box can potentially move in different directions at the same time so the rigid flare that is mounted to both parts gets cracked and eventually broken.
This could have been avoided however. Fender flares intended for the correct 4 door model could have been purchased of course. Or if not available, these rear fender flares could have been cut where they bridge the gap between the cab and box of this Hilux. Then you could cap the cut ends of the fender flares with fibreglass since they are hallow. In any case, contact Jungle Fender Flares to order your set of direct fit fender flares for the 98-04 Toyota Hilux LN 165.

Hilux mk5 fender flares, although these fit both the mk4 and mk5 generations as both bodies were the same other than the front end (grill, lights, bumper, etc).
Jungle Fender Flares do carry fender flares for the 98-04 Toyota Hilux mk4 and mk5 4×4 truck, aka the LN170. These are available for both the 2 door and 4 door model Hilux utes. These Hilux mk4/mk5 wheel arch extensions ship directly from our Asian warehouse but our online store is only set up for shipping from our Canadian warehouse. For this reason it is not possible to purchase these fender flares directly from our website at this point. Please contact us for more information or to request an invoice for these Toyota mk4 and mk5 (LN105+) wheel arch extensions. Please specify whether you have a 2 door or 4 door (double cab) since the 4 door requires a 6 piece set of fender flares as the rear need 2 pieces on each side.
Give your offroad Toyota 4×4 truck the TRD look! Remember, we ship fender flares to any country worldwide including the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, Europe, and Australia. Don’t miss our $40 shipping promotion to Australia!
