50+ thread

I'm thinking there are a couple of different types out there, mine were hard plastic and didn't flex at all. On my last rig I took the flaps off and destroyed the rocker panels with stones hitting them. I spend a lot of time on gravel roads and my tires throw a lot of rocks especially after coming back on to pavement. I always like to keep OEM parts and didn't want to modify them so picked up the Weather tech ones which are almost identical to hard plastic OEM. I cut them down then used plastic rivets to secure fiberglass reinforced ones to the ones I cut down. So I have the best of both worlds and don't rip up my rockers with stone chips. Still get a lot of pinging on the sliders though, even with flaps it isn't 100% protected but pretty close.



In any event I can tell you that you want to get a bag of plastic clips if you replace them. Clips and fasteners has them a lot cheaper than the Toyota Dealer. https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=A21011

 

When we rolled through yesterday that were a few sprinkles. I'm up in NoCal now and it's been raining since we left Woodland. Typical rain for here but a year and a half's worth of rain for us!

Well I got my first real look at my truck today. The waterpump and timing belt were already changed last year but, as I thought, the tires are 10+ years old and one has a little separation going on...so on the trailer it goes.

Pictures tomorrow.
