I'd like to know if anyone has put wider mud flaps on? Do they help keep the side of the truck cleaner from road spray?
Anyone tried modding a set of aftermarket Taco flaps to fit?
I've been looking at these from RekGen
RekGen 'Merica for Tacoma
RekGen Universal 'Merica

on my 2016 runner in 2016 I dumped the toyota mud guards on the front fenders. reason is to short and I know in the ice/snow they will break off.
I installed fiberglass re enforced mud guards. these are wider and longer. so I rarely get any crap on the side of vehicle.
how I did this was I used a piece of cardboard . used this as a pattern .. cut and set it up to my liking
set over the new mud guards cut and drill out the holes . fit perfect ..
the other issue I had these as we know , have sloppy inner fender plastic shields .. these are held in place by non s/steel screws in the plastic retainers .. so I fabricated these so I can remove these inner fender plastic crap to inspect and also clean up and de icing mess..
the s/steel screws in the new plastic retainers hold the shields rock solid so no noise and flopping around..
I also put brush on fiberglass re enforced rust proofing black ..
mud guard look like new.. the rear OEM toyota I will do the rears latter this year. rears are too rigid..
