Mud Flaps vs No Mud Flaps

this is true..

 

Up to you. Mine are staying on even with my 33" tires. I doubt they put much salt and sand on your roads, but are you throwing things at the side of your truck (stones, gravel, mud) when you go off road?

 

yeah but im not hitting the offroad much until i get lift etc on

 

Like you said its a 2012 and showing the 4x4 logo dawg.

 

Then I would take them off but save them until after you lift it and see if you want to put them back on. I trimmed mine before the lift and now wish they were full length now.

 

hmmmm thanks for the help guys

I sold mine on eBay for 175$ and bought some pieces of rubber for 20 bucks that flex when they touch the ground

 

i trimmed mine, they are still functional, and its one of the only ways people know if you have a 4x4. (if you fit in that category)

 

Who cares if other people know you have a 4x4 ?

 

my work at the coal mines cares. cant go in the pit without 4x4. they check the trucks. safety rules.

 

thats exactly how i feel haha

 

Hey Randy how / what did you use / do to cut yours down ? Thanks, Mike.

 

theres a thread on here somewhere about using cardboard....

 

sell those suckers!!! i got $125 for my fronts only on ebay. They are to freaking long anyways. I trimmed my rears 5 inches and love them now.

 

roger that

 

i did all my trimming pre lift and now that its lifted i still believe the length is great on the rears. I used a saw to cut the straight line across the flaps and then used the bottom of the flap to mark the rounded corners. used a belt sander after that and a file to get all the excess plastic off for a clean flush look. Disreguard all the dirt flung onto the rear body panel cause that is what happens when they are completely off the truck.

heres the new ebay post... i decided to sell after hearing they cost 325 after tax brand new from my dealer... make an offer if you want them...im willing to ship at cheaper cost to buyer..

 

Dang, Josh! Had I known you were getting rid of yours I would have made an offer! My rear "4x4" emblems are faded. I may just paint the lettering with white spray paint (that plastic-friendly stuff).

I kept my flaps on because they're practical and save my paint. I lived in Fairbanks, AK for a few years and the gravel they put down on the icy roads there chewed up my old '02 Tacoma! However, the mud flaps helped a lot.

 

thanks for in put. i took my front off and thru them in my closet lol. because i new i would prob lift and may put back on. i was thinking about trimming them.
