Upgraded my inner fender splash shields
The stock inner fender splash shields (or lack of) are not the greatest. So I decided to make some better splash shields. I made some for my 2015 Tacoma, and 2014 F150 and they work great. I used some 1/16" sheet rubber that I found at my local Ace hardware. I designed and made a template then transferred it to the rubber. I used the factory holes and also made a few new ones and used some xmas tree push pins to hold everything in place. That's the super fast write up. LOL. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

I did this on my 2015 Tacoma as well. Here is the thread on it. Has some good info.

Thanks for posting this. How big of a sheet did you need and do you remember the approx cost?

My local Ace only sells it by the foot. The roll is 12" wide and I bought 7'. Think I spent $38 so $5.49 a foot. Because it's only 12" wide I had to cut the template in half in order to make it fit within the 12". So it ends up being two pieces that I joined together with a xmas tree push pin. Sorry it that was confusing. I can measure my template when I get home.

The template I made is 14" x 37.5" I think you could trim it down to 36" and still be able to use the outer most factory mounting holes.

Was thinking about this... would it be easier to just make a piece to fill the gap?

My local Napa auto parts has the push pins. The bigger push pin works great for the factory holes. For the smaller pins I just drilled new smaller holes.

You could but there would be seams for the water to get in. Also the factory ones are not the greatest. LoL.

Good job! I need to do this for my 4th gen as those splash shields are literally falling off but I'd also like to do this on my 5th gen. The OEM shields are kind of cheesy are the push pins are even worse.

@Notch46 before i go breaking the lower clips and having them rattling around inside the frame, is there a good method for removing those?

your write up came just in time, i've noticed the factory clips are creating a lot of squeaks and rattles so they need to go. was going to replace them and use some rubber washers to keep everything snug, but after seeing this i think i'll create some new splash guards while i'm at it. thanks

Wheel well shields
What a great idea. Thanks for posting this DIY upgrade. I used some 1/4" "rubber" sheet (synthetic) to shim the mount on my Baja Rack. OSH has the material in various thicknesses.
Just want to know if the heat of the exhaust manifold has any effect on the material?
