    Why does everyone take off the stock mud flaps on a 4x4 tacoma? Are they cheap?

    I personally think they look gay, and when they rub going over a curb you know something is wrong. I guess if you trim them up they aren't too bad, just not my thing.

    That and when you can sell a set for $200... Deuces!

    I liked the looks of mine on the front of the truck but had to take them off after a few times off road. They rub on everything: rocks, ruts, etc. and the noise they made was horrible. So I took the front ones off before they got too beat up, 1 because they scraped on everything, and 2 I'll probably put them back on if I ever sell it (which I won't but who knows).

    I always will keep the rear on, no point in chipping up other peoples windshields. And they look really good.
