    So on my dad's 04 Tacoma, the driver's side front mudflap disappeared one day. Went to look online for a replacement and the cheapest I could find was around $70 for one! Instead of buying one, I called up a local motorsports shop I know who makes mudflaps for Subarus and had him make me a custom set of mudflaps. The mudflaps are made of a rugged poly blend and are way more durable than the OEM plastic flaps. He makes the flaps for rally cars, so they are pretty beefy and they were cheaper than one OEM flaps, for all 4. Plus they don't have the "4WD" logo on them. The mudflaps are wider than the OEM flaps, to offer a little more protection than stock. I had the OEM bracket to use in the rear, but had to make a custom bracket to mount the fronts. Here are some pics:
