    For the price, you can't beat them. I went with the 11x19's since the 9x15's looked a bit narrow. Have a set with the off road scene and a set with the 4wd logo on them waiting if I ever make it back down to my parents. Gonna try to get down that way next weekend.

    I put those on mine and actually think there a bit big. Bought one set of the smaller for $13 to try them and see what I think. I'll sell the bigger set of I like the smaller ones.

    I personally thing the smaller set (what I have) is the perfect size, big enough to cover the width of the tire and just long enough to not be too long but still be effective

    Got pics of the 11x19's installed? Figured I'd rather have too big than too small especially if I upgrade tires. Believe @DoorDing started with the 9x15's but ended up going with the bigger ones since they were closer to stock size.

    I just installed the 11"x19" Plasticolor flaps on my DCSB OR and they look great. I have them on there as a temporary solution until i can get the OEM flaps. I will post pictures tomorrow
    They were really easy to install (2 screws for the fronts, an 3 screws for the rear). The hardest part was transferring the hole pattern to the flaps so they end up in the right position. I used the packaging cardboard that came with the flaps as a guide. I put cardboard into position on the truck as if it was the actual flap. Took a small screwdriver and poked holes in the cardboard where the screws on the truck are. You can easily find the screws behind the cardboard and poke a hole through the cardboard into the philips head of the screw thats on the truck. Once i had the hole pattern laid out on the cardboard i attached the cardboard to the truck with the OEM screws. Then i put the flap up against the cardboard and positioned it how i wanted it. Then i traced the outline of the flap onto the cardboard with a sharpie pen. Then unscrewed the cardboard from the truck and used it to transfer the hole pattern to the flaps. The template could be used for both sides ( 2 templates total, 1 for front and 1 for rear). I used the small screwdriver to punch the holes in the flaps and bolted them on. look and work great!

    Looks like they are putting them on all Canadian Tacos and making you Yanks wait till there is more supply... they musta had a supply issue, I guess...!!

    The OEM flaps with the OEM running board is MY perfect combo for NO chips at all.....!!

    Those would be too long for off road application ... for the stuff I do with my truck anyway. Probably function well for the street or dirt roads

    Installed the 9x15 Plasticolor mountain scene on front. Waiting for rears to arrive later this week. For 13.99 can't beat em'! Followed 16TacomaOR's method from page 10 here.

    I really don't know why people run flaps, they tear off on any tank trap in the woods.

    They stick out but defiantly keep anything spraying up onto the side of the truck and that's the whole purpose of a mud flap in my opinion!!!!
