    Really trying to decide on mud flaps but don't want to spend $150 for rokblokz that seems a little ridiculous. I don't live out west so won't be climbing rocks and doing crazy stuff. Mainly trying to avoid gravel killing my undercarriage and salt from splashing the rocker.

    Suggestions?

    I'd just go to Walmart and get a set but they just look to boring and cheap..

    Thanks!

    The stock Toyota ones fit well but they are a little rigid and can break on large obstacles

    That's what I heard and for what they cost I'd rather buy some that fit me for the same price

    RokBlokz are well worth their price in the long-term of ultimate protection.

    I have stock suspension and tires and don't plan on lifting or tuning besides buying a different style tire when these wear. So I'm not sure if XL would be too big.. but it seems they might offer more protection being wider and catching all that grime in the winter! What do you think? What size did you go with? I'm thinking about just splurging and then I only have to buy them once...

    Running the XL on factory suspension with TRD pro wheels and falken AT3W 265/70/16. They seem perfect to me and they do a great job. I live on a gravel road and I’ve yet to find any dings in the truck from rocks flying. They are a little spendy but I think they are the best thing out there. Flexible so they won’t break off if you catch them on something, but rigid enough they aren’t flapping in the breeze.

    Okay thanks! One last thing is ive heard of the rally armor brand, and that the RB are based off of them.. and it seems the rallys are basically the same thing for way less money. Do you have any knowledge or opinions on that?

    I did look at those. I haven't seen much on them but they look good and I can consider them. I just wanna make sure for $100+ I'm getting quality for my needs!

    They're required where I live. I'm guessing you don't live in and area where they add gravel onto the road during the winter. If everyone didn't have them around here I'd be getting new windshields every couple weeks.

    I’ve looked at a ton of stuff before I got mine. Personally in the grand scheme of things, $150 is cheap protection for my truck that costs many times more than that.

    Stock ones do show up once in a while on the for.sale threads here periodicall. so if you.can afford to wait, usually can get a set for a decent price.

    They are quality. No worries on that. I think they are right at $100, unless you go with the offset and stainless options....
