    I have a Tacoma work truck that doesn’t have the flares and having a hard time finding mud guards as most are for the flares. Any suggestions?

    ==> Best flaps <== I have found after multiple sets of bragged-about yet brittle-and crack are these universal flaps. Durable, rugged, flexible, stable, and all around quality product for me.

    I discarded the cheesy Toyota fasteners and went with stainless 5/16" lags that eat right through the OEM plastic 1/4" inserts, for mounting.

    I put one on each of the four places for mud flaps.

    These do not come pre-drilled but that is an easy fix with a cardboard template of the hole layout.

    Last flap I will ever need for this particular tiny truck.

    i have OE mud flaps that came factory/port installed on my truck. i removed them after about 14K miles. no cracks or tears, just normal wear. if anyone is interested in them for a fair price, let me know.

    I went with Rokblokz. They work pretty well and bend nicely when I go over deep ruts.

    Rekgens are fairly simple install with their supplied screws & spacers. Each flap requires three screws. No drilling needed. Only issue I had was deciphering which spacer went where. Iirc I think I had to redo a couple after figuring it out. Even then it didn't take longer than half an hour. No issues to report after installing them almost four years ago. So far they're holding up really well.

    Was patient and got OEM on Craigslist for $10. The hours I've spent trolling CL'S I've literally saved 10's of dollars.:thumbsup:

    I would take the reviews there to heart. My review is on there, in fact it may be the top one. I love how they look. But it lasted a year or so.

    Those are what I am running now. harder upper part, soft lower, or you can take off the lower all together for a higher mudflap depending on your liking.

    Rekgens. OEM are nice but collect winter slush if that’s a concern. Rekgens and other flat/non-clamshell ones don’t

    Rally Armor flaps are great.

    Mine have been on for a year and are still in solid shape. I'm also not nice to them.

    Rokblokz XL, low profile easy install survived 3 years on the truck so far. Had to remove my front when the cmc was done but my rears are still on

    I bought those when I got my truck new in July 2020. My SR5 didn't come with any port installed. When I ordered them I got the cement 4x4 logo on all 4. They have held up well for me but then I don't really go off road. They were simple enough to install and look good. If I were to do it over I'd still buy them but I would get the 4x4 logo on the rear and get plain black front ones.

    Another vote for WeatherTech. Put them on my 2016 when new; easy install and no issues since.
