mud flaps????

[FULLSCALE]

@PNW_Ranger87 I’ll try to get some pics this weekend... it’s dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. I think I took one in the garage after I put them on though, I’ll post it up if it’s on my phone.

This is the best I’ve got so far. RokBlokz XL adjusted all the way in with 265/70R17 on stock wheels with 1” spacer.

Am I just old or does no one believe in mud flaps any more? My 1984 Tacoma, 1989 Tacoma & 1999 Ranger all came with mud flaps. My 2019 XLT that I put a deposit on the other day doesn't have them & I noticed looking at the garage & various member's trucks that no one else seems to have then.
Having said that, does anyone have a recommendation for any particular brand?
Thanks

I too drove a Tacoma..... in my case since 1997. If you have a 4x4, and don't want road rash eating the paint off your truck, you want mud flaps.... not because they look awesome (they don't).... but because they protect the paint on your truck.

I choose WeatherTech mud flaps. They protect better than Ford OEM accessory mud flaps.

Gatorback mudflaps in smoke with black ranger lettering. Stupid expensive but seem like the best looking flaps I could find. Wanted something flexible.

There's a difference between flaps and guards. If you are concerned about looks and rock chips molded guards like WT or the OEM work fine. Beyond that they are snow and mud collectors. In those conditions you need flexible flaps. You can even have issues if it freezes overnight.

The RB XL on mine work so well I drove it for a month in MN/WI and washed it for the first time last week. Not because it really needed it I thought it was about time!

Agreed. Rally Armors are much more flexible than the RB ones but I love the look of the XL's on my truck!

Agree, would really like these. But cost is too high for me

Good thing is they’re easy to install. Bad part double what they should really cost. Max

Was waiting for the Rally Armor because I heard the WT would collect snow. So far happy with the amount that sticks to them.

Holy sh..! The gatorback price is crazy!! I could buy a nice gun or plenty of ammo for that price

I ordered WT flaps yesterday. Hopefully I like them.

Let us know what your initial impressions are. Those are the ones I’m leaning towards. What I’d really like is a set of flaps that would be compatible with a fender flare install for later.

Yeah, I’d like that too but I’m pushing 3 grand in accessories and flares would mean I need new wheels, tires, and a lift.

How do the retainer clips look? Seems rather busy

They seem big and bulky at first but they fit nicely and snug to the flap. Keeps the flap locked tight to wheel well(no noise). Went to the ski hill twice this week. Nothing got by the flaps onto the paint behind them. I moved mine out slightly wider. I’m impressed. Checked the bolts and everything is lock tight. Installation was easy and would highly recommend them. Everyone who sees them comments on them. They’re not cheap but they do the job. Seems like they’ll last forever.
