    Decided to take the mudflaps off today.
    took a flathead and popped the plastic clips off (most were gone anyways)
    then a 10mm socket for the screws...

    some rubbing from them, nothing a little touch up can't fix from the dealer ($7 a bottle color matched)

    I like mine off. Took them off ages ago. Had same problem with the rubbing though, not really enough to bother me. Maybe someday I'll touch em up. Only thing you'll notice (maybe not with stock tires) is mud gets kicked up on the side of the truck alot easier.

    Not yet,

    That's the only reason mine is still on. Well, not really worried about mud as much as rock chips.

    Oh shit, I didn't realize you took the back ones off too. I'd leave those ones on. Left mine on for looks and legalities! Plus they got that nice 4X4 logo on there :)

    The ground took my fronts off for me about two years ago.
    Still have the backs for the offroading.
    Leave em off, these trucks look good naked.
