Paint Chipping Fix??

My 2024 Tacoma Off Road after one year this month and 16500 miles. I put Weather Tect. Mud flaps, and they are much wider then stock. I wonder by now way someone hasn't come up with maybe a molded Hard Plastic cover to protect that area, that might just tape on. Color of choice or just black. Just a thought.

I have read all the post on this subject. Just my take on the subject.

 

You could always get that area line-x’d.

 

Simple fix, buy the Tacoma running boards they pretty well stop all rock chipping.

 

This mirrors my experience. I have the factory steps, and after 15K miles including the winter salt and crud, plus every weekend on a few miles of unfinished road, I have no chips.

 

I agree with the OP. It would be nice if a company made a black textured plastic cover for the area susceptible to rock chips.

 

Aftermarket companies do. Search Yotaverse

 

I went to their website. Found one for 2016-2023 but nothing for 2024-2025. Can you please post a link to the one you saw?

 

Yeah I only saw previous gen also. Maybe keep your eye out for the new gen coming soon. Meanwhile I’d just get some ppf from Amazon and apply them yourself. If you know how to apply smartphone or iPad screen protectors then apply ppf is relatively easy with guidance from YouTube.

 

Adding to a previous post about Line-X, they will match colors so you can have the Line-x coating the same color as your truck. And FYI, I added large Weathertech flaps and OEM tube steps and I have no chips yet.

 

I hate the stock "step/running boards" and was going to remove them for rock rails, BUT after all the complaints on chipping I added TufSkinz mud flaps and left steps on. May look into the color matched Rhino liner in the future.

 

bgdv1,

I'm interested in those Tufskinz mudflaps. How wide are they ? Do you have any pictures you could post ?

 

They look good.

Is that an SR5 or a TRD Sport ?

 

TRD Sport

 

They look good with that topographic pattern.
