Welcome. I had an FJ too, and a couple of 4Runners (‘89, ‘19). Great machines. I like the Stroppe better though. Hope it holds up as well.

I had one on my ‘23 Badlands and found it very effective. I have a lake property 1.5 hours away and the amount of bugs and pebbles I encounter hitting in my line of sight diminished significantly with the Aeroskins II. So much so I almost had one installed at Granger for the long back country...

I put one on mine.

If you install it, post a pic!

Soft top option?

Was looking at these for my ‘71. I’m running 32”s now and they only have 33s So I’m evaluating going up a size. How are they as far as noise?

I like my ‘25 Stroppe much better in every way than my 4dr ‘23 Badlands.

The 2026 is a 4 dr.

I can tell you that the hoods and tailgates were all painted white at Ford before going to Penske. Penske painted the orange sides and flat black tailgate over that white. I can also say that the flat black paint seems very thin, as shown in the pic just above.

Can you post some pics of the tailgate wrap? It would be interesting to see. Unless Penske had a newbie on the job, I can’t see why they would arbitrarily change protocol and wrap a tailgate in the middle of the run.

This looks like flaking paint to me. Why would they wrap the inside?

My tailgate is painted black. The hood is a wrap. I wish they would’ve painted the hood and wrapped the white tailgate black. It would’ve been easier and cheaper to “correct” things.

Thanks. That was an old post but someone else may be curious. 👍🏼

Ford does the flares and corners separately. That paint formula is different from what Penske sprays and has a flex agent necessary for these plastic parts.

Absolutely!
