remove mud flaps and running boards for better look?

well, when it stops raining I'm gonna remove the flaps

 

Lol, I treat lakes and ponds for a living. I pull a 12 foot Carolina Skiff with a treatment rig set up in it. Less than 1% of all our ponds actually have boat ramps so we have to make our own So we go over curbs and off road many times every day. Sometimes we get calls way out in the country and have to drive a ways off road with the boat. I can say, I drive off road more in a couple weeks than most do all year. It's an awesome job if you like being out side, pretty unique too.

 

if i do decide to keep them off, locals will have first dibs. it's just a lot less trouble to do it that way.

hey! i have 3'' of lift! . i probably won't ever go any higher, so it's not much of an issue. my girlfriend uses them, but today i got her to try getting in without using them, and it was no problem. so i'm thinking they are gonna come off.

that's definitely not an everyday job, pretty interesting. plus you get to have fun in your truck.

 

I say remove all of it...including the fenders.

Dis way ya don't has to worry about tire rubin', or mud & stones ruining yo paint.

 

I see nothing wrong with the mud flaps and running boards on our Tacos. The Wife uses the runing boards every day!

 

sell the mud flaps on e-bay- they go for 150-200 a set! And, if you sell the steps as well, this should give you enough cash to buy real sliders

 

X1

Never been a huge fan of the running boards. I prefer the nerfs or the sliders. Just my two cents. Yank the mud flaps!

 

oh you bad bad men! now I got an idea!!!!

ok, removing and selling the flaps and boards and getting sliders. where's a good place to get some and do they have any that would match my wheels? the bronze trd color. or should i get black? hmmmmmmmm

 

those crappy flaps got ripped off on mine the first week i had it brand new.

 

took off the running boards! i like the way it looks; it doesn't seem so low to the ground. it's not really noticeable in the pics, but it is in person. i don't think i will have any trouble with stuff being thrown up the side of my truck any worse because i kept the flaps. here's pics for comparison:









i'm probably gonna put up a "feeler" for my running boards if anyone is interested

 

NICE

 

Looks great!

 

thanks guys

 

take em off, i took off my ARE bed cover soldit for 450 sold running boards for 250 and mudflaps were all cracked and at 60 bux each employee price i said no thanks. plus their right makes truck look bigger , esp with the toy tec 3inch lift i just did.

 

lol, sounds very similar to my truck. also had an A.R.E. tonneau that i've took off and have for sale for $400 on here. just took off the running boards and have them for sale. probably gonna take off the flaps bc they are cracked and barely hanging on anyway. got the 3'' toytec. and it's a white trd off road sr5.

 

why are people still voting??? i already took the running boards off, lol.

 

why would anyone need a running board to step up into a tacoma unless they had a 20" lift...

 

Reomove both.

 

I removed mine after going through 2 sets... I think the truck looks better now that they are off.
