    I found it but lost the hardware for it

    Dealer or is there aftermarket?

    I saw only flaps with hardware.

    Stole one from passenger side to install it back

    I was able to get the correct hardware at the local Napa store. Just take in the matching pieces from the other mud flap and match them to the ones in the store.

    Just take them off. You're bound to rip them off off-roading.

    Toyota dealers have the hardware, many many tacomas have torn of the mats and asked to have them resecured.

    Battle scars. And to be completely honest, rocks chips aren't even that big of an issue unless you're power sliding your truck in gravel parking lots. I travel service roads and dirt "trails" and have minimal chipping from thrown up rocks. I'm running KO2's as well and all terrains are known to throw whatevers picked up.

    I removed fronts after going to 285s, they wouldn't fit anymore. Rears are only on as a courtesy for drivers behind me to help with rocks being thrown from the tread. Personally tacos look good without the flaps

    this Plus keeps the water and especially, if you live in cold/ice/snow areas, Salt, from getting shot up under and into the lower door frame. I'd rather have the flaps. JMO

    The stock mudflaps are so loooooong, they look ridiculous, IMO.

    When I got my truck didn't notice until I brought it home that I on my had two... on opposing corners! So it was an easy decision to take them off.

    No regerts. ;)

    Nah man, I took my mud flaps off 4 years ago and paint looks fine. Sliders prevent rocks from hitting paint behind front wheel.

    I took mine off for about 5 months and it wrecked my paint pretty good. Going fast through the desert is bad for your paint I guess.

    OP, these Husky brand shorter than OEM fronts come with the screws: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZZH7G0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Here are some of the clips: https://smile.amazon.com/Clipsandfa...rd_wg=CutGl&psc=1&refRID=195BHCHRFHV9V1SN8576

    If you want OEM, there is plenty on Ebay. That is where I got a replacement front when I ripped it off(backed over it). Have since moved on to Husky fronts and OEM rears. I'll keep them on as I have no desire to have the whole side of my truck chipped up like my old Dodge.
