Pat I've often wondered but keep forgetting to ask, what application did your rear tire fender come from?

As Pat said, they don't make them for the FJ swing arm but pretty much anything can be made to fit. I just positioned this where I wanted it and made brackets to fill the gaps.
I had watched this hugger dropping in price in the shop over time. It started at $240 and over 18 mths got down to $50 and then I made an offer of $30.

I made a mudflap from 10mm reinforced rubber inside to stop any water or grit being flung forward.

A hugger serves no purpose on an FJ but with the 17" wheel, shortened mudguard and back end raised, they fill the back in nicely.

Nice work Noel.  A different look with a black cover compared to Pat's Ferrari red.  :biggrin:

My paint shop nailed it with matching the oem '84 color.  Amazing how accurate those color analyzers are.
