    IF i'm not mistaken...its because u guys have the Access cab and those are made mostly in Texas...the Double cabs are made in Mexico...It seems that all the ones ordered from Mexico except the Limited didn't get them...Mine didn't come with them either...but I didn't really want them anyway since the last OEM ones I had from Toyota broke off the first time my truck seen snow!

    So did they break off when you backed over snow bladed across your driveway after a snow plow went down your street?

    Just the build up of "slush" on the flaps while driving...turned the wheel real sharp and I heard a "pop"...didn't think much of it...but as I started to drive...It sounded like something rubbing against my tires...pulled over and the front drivers side one was just dangling by a tread of plastic...so I just pulled it off and 2 days later the other side did the same. I bought the truck (2006 Prerunner) in Florida and then moved back to Kentucky...the truck was about 6 months old and had never seen snow until then...the back ones stay on until I sold it back in November

    I sold the rokblokz. I just thought they were to big for my taste and purpose. I have 265/70/17 tires so not big tires. I got weathertecs flaps which are smaller. Most of my 4 wheeling involves getting out of 10 foot snow here in New England so I don't throw a lot of rocks around. Rokblokz I am sure are good for their purpose.

    I looked at the RokBlokz but they stick out too far and look tacky IMO. I wanted some "floppy" style rubberized flaps not the stiff molded plastics like Weathertech and OEM flaps. These stiffer plastic flaps do not hold up off roading or driving with a lot of frozen slush in my experiences... as KentuckyTaco pointed out above. Ultimately I went with some cheap Plasticolor universal flaps from Amazon and they installed in less than 30 minutes using the OEM screws. They look really good on the truck too IMO.

    that extra width is there for a reason, but from what I understand the Rokblokz can be cut and shaped to your desire. I personally like the extra coverage, but If I didn't I would probably end up buying the Rokblokz and trimming the edge down.

    Agree RokBlokz (sp?) would be better for oversized tires. Check the the posts here of mine: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/no-mud-flaps.395137/page-12#post-11344747 and https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/no-mud-flaps.395137/page-13#post-11399883 and https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/no-mud-flaps.395137/page-11#post-11308056
