easy mudflap trim

measure desired length, i did 3 inches.

 

cut using tin snips, metal cutters
cuts very easy with these

 

take the piece you just cut, mark the rounded corners, and cut those as well

 

after cutting you should have a very close match

 

finished product. took all of 5 minutes a side

 

nice!

very simple, easy, quick, and good looking!

plus a good writeup...pics of every part is great!

 

Or you can just take them off before the mud flaps start to dig themselves into your fender flares.

 

up in western new york, the winter salt will do much worse.
so wanted to keep them on.

 

I would def agree with that then. All in all man it does look good. Plus, if you ever did decide to take them off, at least your truck is black to cover it.

 

plus i like that both the front and back seem to match

 

Looks great. Will be doing this the weekend. Thanks for sharing. Nice truck man!

 

im going to attempt this tomorrow on front and rear flaps. i grabbed the tin snips from my uncle the other day.
cant wait..

 

You are damned if you do, damned if you don't remove the flaps. If you take them off you get pitted fenders.

 

Just went the through winter here, Im glad i kept them on

With trimming them i have not had any problems with them scraping anything
i go over. Have been working out great so far.

Look even better with the bigger tires

 

thanks for the write up mike, this method was super easy and fast. took 3 inches off the the front and rear

comparison..left side trimmed, right side stock.


finished product

Just purchased my second "2nd gen" tacoma last week. For this very reason, I removed the front mud flaps while at the dealership before I put one mile on it .
