    Does anyone know of a company that makes a shorter molded mud flap..?
    I don't like the long stock ones, but don't want to go without a flap because I am on construction sites/gravel roads a lot and don't want to destroy the bottom rockers or paint.

    I made my own custom rubber mud flaps at one point for the front and ripped them off recently. I replaced them with weathertech front flaps and the weathertechs have functioned flawlessly. I do moderate offroading as well (requires 4x4, locker, and a recovery method). Rear flaps are stock

    You've got the 2014 already? Congrats! Have you found any changes yet? Sorry, you're the first 2014 I've heard of, exciting.

    Trim them. You can buy aftermarket ones but I am not sure if they any shorter than the OEM.

    I talked to the salesman that I bought my truck from yesterday and he said that there is no difference to when it comes to the 2014 Tacoma's.

    WeatherTech No-Drill MudFlaps are shorter than the OEM ones I believe.

    I installed all four Weathertechs and they seem to work fine--even off-road. Installation was as easy as replacing stock flaps--same holes & hardware.

    Not molded, but I got some rockblokz, and couldn't be happier. I started with some generic mud flaps, and while they worked fine, they got torn up pretty quickly. These have held up well off road, and are stiff enough to stop pretty good sized rocks and road debris. Might be worth a look.
