    So after searching to the point of exhaustion, I give in to ask my question aloud.
    First, let me say that I was given a nice set of mudflaps.
    I know most people take them off, but I have yet to lift my tacoma, and would like to avoid as much salt as I can. I know that won't happen, but anything to avoid adding to the rust is desirable.
    These flaps do not have any pre drilled holes though, and the previous owner removed all the stock ones, so I can't measure off those. I can't mark the flaps against the truck, and measuring by hand on the truck seems like I might end up with some very crooked flaps.
    This isn't huge, but who wants to have something that's not perfect when it should or could be?
    Does anyone have their old flaps to measure against? or better yet, a diagram of the actual placement of the holes?

    I guess the outside edge to the top mount center, top mount center to first inside.
    This is going to be off, none of these are square...

    If I may make a suggestion , I would hold your rally armour flaps up where you want to mount them and figure out where the top hole should be and drill that , insert some kind of fastener into the other existing holes , loosely fasten the rally armour flap on with your top pre-drilled hole , position the flap where you want it and tap over the fasteners with a hammer to mark the locations on the back side of the flap , remove and through drill the flap

    If the marks won't transfer try coating the head of the " marking screws " with a felt pen , pencil or similar

    Thanks OZ, I'll probably end up doing this.
    I'll take some pictures, and try to measure some accurate points for the next person who needs it.
    I'll be the guinea pig on this project!

    You can then put the rears pr and fronts face to face and pick up the holes so they match . First try them backwards on the opposite side to make sure the hole locations are the same left to right

    after a quick second look on mine, the front and rear have slightly different hole patters. I'll be doing the rear together, then the front.
    I'm all set on measurements wjpjr, thank you though.

    So is this correct that the rear mud flaps only have one screw? Or is that 3 on the inside? I can't tell from the pic.
    I had mine ripped off when off roading recently and ordered the the clips. Has anyone tried to bolt them on all the way around or found a more flexible option? I'm thinking of making my own. Any thoughts?

    2 screws and 3 push pins clip things

    Some cut off the bottom part of the flap so you wont rip it off going backwards
    some just remove them
    I might just remove mine since they came off a few times in the snow backing up
