Mud Flaps: Yes or No?

I prefer the clean look without mudflaps, but I run flaps on all 4 for practical reasons. Spend a lot of time on gravel roads/driveways and without the flaps everything just gets torn up.

 

Hey Tex(as angler),

Are your new REK Gens stiff or somewhat flexible?

By the way, how they bitin'? The fish, that is.

Jolly

 

Yes, but Rokblokz

I have the OEM ones on my 2020, my 2017 didn't. I kind of like them because no rocks go flying onto my paint job anymore but I feel they create some drag while driving.

 

No flaps!

 

How's the ride compared to stock?

 

On my Tacoma - yes
On my wimmenz - no

 

Quite flexible. And unfortunately no fishing lately!

 

Ditched the stock flaps after getting them hung up several times before they could cause any damage to the fenders or whatnot. That said I wouldn't be opposed to some flexy ones if they aren't too much $$$. We'll see how this winter goes.

 

Rekgens ftw! Just ordered some.

 

I run RokBloks

 

I'm running a 285/60 on an 18x9 with -12mm offset and installed the RokBlokz XL mud flaps. I had to trim just a small amount of the mud flap under the lower part of the fender flare. I'd rather not have them, but winter is rough on the paint around here. Will most likely be a winter mod.

 

Meh, they look weird to me. But that's subjective. I guess if you drive in a lot muck they are functional at least.

 

Hopefully getting some RekGens for my birthday soon. Got tired of spraying mud all over the door, window, underside of the door handles, awning, RTT etc.

 

RekGens here. Look good and work great. Keeps the side of the truck much cleaner and it keeps rocks from beating the powder coating off my tubular side steps.

@texas angler - What is your take on the rek gens so far?
Got any pics?

Thnaks!

 

This, apparently, SR owners don't neeed mud flaps. My want is purely aesthetic, Black truck=much dirt on the doors. I know, I'm THAT guy. All the legit ones ***Do Not Fit SR****
