Going back to stock fender flares

I order this fender flare part #75873-04030. Says it fits my truck. MY truck is a 2013 long bed
But my original rear fender flare didn't have this slot opening at the bottom? What is it for? Will this work for my truck?

 

You need to check the actual model code when you go to this website because I show that part does not fit your truck

I also see you have an extended cab, so I’m not sure, but I would doublecheck that website

 

Now I ran the access cab and ran a different model code and this is what shows now it does show that it fits so you’ll definitely have to look up the model code,

 

it fits, I used my vin number

 

Hope that helps out a little bit, I know the spares are expensive and don’t forget if you’re gonna change them. Make sure your inner lining is good. Also

 

that’s an odd one got me a little puzzled, lol

 

Maybe it's having an issue/error decoding your VIN and it would be better to make the model selections yourself?

 

I've used my vin# on a bunch of website. The part fits.

 

Weird. I know on the long bed flares there is a screw h ole in that bottom cut out, but from your picture it doesn't look like that flare has one.

 

it says this one is from 2008 tacoma. Maybe it was labeled wrong. Guess I'll look at it when it gets to my house

 

This is not a 75873-04030 witch goes on a long bed.
This is a 75088-04060 and 75088-04070 and only goes on a short bed. I'm sending it back on sellers expense

 

I have no experience with them, but a company called Diy solutions makers flares that are supposed to be stock replacements, none of that rivet or jungle style. They're still expensive as hell, but much cheaper than stock.

 

Does these front fender extension need a gasket? I don't remember

 

No
