    Actually Canadian vehicles they do.
    Yes, totally, btw when did my opinion matter to you? I am merely defending my own opinion, which stands to be true. I do not know what goes on in the US, but in Canada, I can back everything I said up:)cool: you probably do have that truck I was talking about or at heart you want one), And yes you are older than me, but I've met plenty of stupid people that were older than me. I can say I with hold my reputation as intellectual pretty well.

    Unfortunately the OEM flaps are the best solution. Shorter flaps will still tear up the rocker panels on the bed sides - Toyota lengthened them after '05 for a reason.

    Well see then that's the difference between me and you.

    It seems you have no respect to give until it's earned.

    I on the other hand start with respect. And then it's their's to lose.

    Wow... so many drama queens on here since my last visit;)

    I was thinking about making a flexible flap to replace the factory flap. It would have a removable metal stiffener to be removed for off roading. It would keep the flap from sailing on the hwy.
    You'd still have a problem with them getting caught when reversing, but it'd be cheaper than factory replacements.

    I guess only people who really off road would understand. Tell you what, just go out and back up your truck towards the dirt that piles up on the side of a grated road and if you hit your flap it will just fall off. I have seen it.
    Lucky, no damage to body. Next time the flap may get caught up and damage the truck before it rips off. And, most of the time you do not know it came off and now you just littered. So bottom line, you think I am a dick for taking off my flaps, well I hope that makes you happy. :jerkoff:
