    I'd like to replace at least one of the rubber sheet fender seals on my 2015 DC TRD. Does anyone have a template for these they could share?

    (Yeah, I know I can buy them from Rad Rubber Design, but I have a slightly different project in mind.)

    A kind forumite in the Gen 1 subforum posted a template a few years ago (thanks @cazinpa). I have my fingers crossed somebody here has done something similar for the Gen 2s and I just haven't found it in my searching...

    Here's the Gen 1 thread:

    Here are the Gen 2 fender seals from the parts listing.

    Also interested in this. I bought a cheapo from Amazon made of plastic and it was terrible, I didn't even install it.

    There was/is a member on here who made a template for a one piece version of the seals. Let me see if I can find it in my DMs

    Found it

    It was a member named notch46

    Here’s the thread I think you’re referring to, @Levalexi, with links to the template offered for sale thread (starting in 2015 and confirmed still live in May 2023) embedded in it.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/upgraded-inner-fender-splash-shields-update-2nd-run.391264/

    Note this template isn’t quite OEM and the creator recommends drilling additional holes in the upper section of the inner fender and using Christmas tree fasteners for those. That's not quite the way I want to go -- the original splash shield template is what I'm looking for.

    Did you fit rubber sheet cut to the template to your truck?
