[2013Trail]

Went off the pavement first time yesterday. Did about 16 miles of driving on a dirt road--never went over 30 mph but mostly 10-15 mph. This morning when I washed the vehicle I noticed the black plastic rock guards at the bottom of the rear fender flares were already pitted. I'm thinking this happened because of the short front OEM mud flaps. Very disappointing to see on a one-month-old vehicle. So I want to install some that hang lower down and give more protection. I'd appreciate any recommendations you all may have.

I installed OEM mudflaps on my 13' SR5 last week, and they do an excellent job. They are a little wider and longer than yours....unfortunately I don't know of any flaps made to compliment the TE "partial" flaps. I think your best best is to try and fabricate flap extensions maybe? I'm thinking you may be able to cut pieces of rubber material to match the measurements of your flaps and drill small tap holes and utilize black screws to hold the extensions on...I know, not the best idea I'm sure, but one that will work but at what aesthetic cost?

No answer for the flaps but I was wondering how you got your hands on a 2103 TE?

Can I say lol ? I think he got too excited maybe .

Weird. I drive on lots of gravel roads doing around 80 km/h and never got anything that looks like that. My tires also stick out way more than yours do and I removed the bottom part of the front mudflaps. Only thing I can suggest is look into getting the Canadian OEM running boards or something similar.

I can do anything with my computer!

Unless you get a clear bra or something the whole front end will look like that in a year or so...including your windshield.
I consider those earned, it's parking lot dings that kill me.

2013TE, did you end up getting a set of mud flaps? I would like to order some and was curious to see how they look on a TE.

I wounder how the 2014 mudflaps would fit on the 2013?





As an alternative that is available now, there are Rally Armor Universal Mud Flaps. Yea, I know these are meant for Rally Cars, but I think they would work well, and they are cheap!

Don't know if they will fit the TE but is worth the look:

Last time I looked huskyliner nor weathertech made ones that fit the TE, only the SR5 and LE

It doesn't look like the Toyota Mudguards will work either.

I didn't get any yet. I called the local Toyota dealer several weeks ago to find out when parts would be available for the 2014 4R but he said no idea. I think the mudflaps are a little longer on the 2014 than the 2013 models. In any case, I might just buy a rubber universal mud flap and bolt it on to the existing mud flaps. Rubber is nice because it flexes going over rocks and obstacles.

Those natural black plastic pieces are that way so that when they get pitted, scratched, and ripped the f*&k off, they don't show as much as painted parts. I think I left my front mud flaps somewhere in Utah.
