    Title is basically it.

    I need both front fenders for my 02 Tacoma 4wd TRD. Passenger got a little modded by a deer a while ago. Driverside got 'destroyed' by me after a deer beat it up and I needed to be able to open the door:eek:

    So who is best bet for getting a pair of fenders that aren't going to be a pain the in rear installing?

    Not sure I want to go fiberglass or extended style. I'm running standard 31x10.5 tires.

    I tried an aftermarket cheapo a while back didn't fit up at all. Maybe others would have better luck, my truck had an accident ~20 years ago things on one side just aren't the same.

    Bought the OEM fender from the dealer fit fine (mostly).

    Same here. Tried the aftermarket crap that's out there and just went with oem. Had to get them from the local dealer (only because of the gentle shipping companies these days) so it was more than on line pricing. And they still had to get the left one twice before I got a dent free fender. Got lucky and found someone who bought the other ones I had. I warned him. When I saw his uncle a couple months later he said just about nothing fit right with them.
    Again, you get what you pay for. Sorry I didn't have better info for you.

    Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure if there was anything not OEM that was worth a damn.

    car-part was going to be my next try but for the price, I thought I'd eyeball aftermarket first ;)
