    These trucks are extremely capable stock and can do more than what most people will ever need in the OEM configuration. Keep in mind the Stock TRD Tundra beat the Stock Raptor in the Baja 1000

    OEM Mud Guards and Running Boards. I think they look good.

    Exactly! I already had a test run if you will with my 2019 so I knew exactly what I wanted for my 2023

    My stock ones ripped off, so I'll be getting some flexible ones (maybe Marvin the Martian "Give me Space") ones. Or go super retro and get the Toyota zig zag cut ones from the 70's
    If you live where they sand the roads, mud flaps are a neccesary courtesy to other drivers. Keeps your truck clean as well.

    100% practical. Trucks look better without mudflaps, always.

    I kept mine to protect my doors and rocker panels. Even with the mudflaps, my sliders, doors and rocker panels are peppered with rocks.

    I got the tufskinz and they’re great, barely notice them and it’s obvious after a rainy day how well they work

    Surface rust from being sandblasted by stone chips is so, much better than shiny paint...

    Yes, I pull trailers, that is why I own a truck and have over sized flaps...

    Never had them from factory, and didn’t care. But then I came upon a deal on Craigslist for some rexgens, now I run um for my 35s. Don’t regret um a bit

    I purchased OEM mudguards for $65 online for my new 2023 TRD OR. I sort of prefer the look of no mudguards but I do like the way the OEM ones look. I really appreciate the protection they offer to my truck and other vehicles on the road.

    I have them on my truck.

    Also, our van had a side window broken by a honestly nice guy without mud flaps driving up a steep part of a trail we were parked next to. He left a note and paid for the rock damage his truck caused to our van.

    I chose to keep mine. However the recent extreme cold proved that the oem’s crack fairly easy when it stays cold for a while and your tire throws up a chunk of ice. Anyone know ones that mount to stock location, have decent coverage, and are flexible?

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    I don't like them but if they weren't rubbing the tires I'd run them. Putting the snow tires on which are smaller soon so I'll put them back on for the winter.

    Stock flaps are not good with ice/snow. After driving 2 hours straight on the highway through a storm, when I got off the highway and turned my wheels they were jammed up. This is what I had piled on https://imgur.com/a/dPl1bqp

    Replaced with RekGen, any accumulation just kicks right off and doesn’t build up as the flaps have flex. Cheep, and easy to install.
