Mud Flaps

I have 2 front ones from my stock 2004 ext cab, i'll sell em to ya for cheeeeep

 

Had mine for two days and broke my right front going down off a curb...debating taking at least the front off too

 

The first day after I bought my truck the mud flaps came off and clear bra went on.

 

Before I bought my truck, I was out with a buddy in his Tacoma and we backed into a small dirt pile on the side of the trail barely moving and the mud flap fell off. I saw how they mount, and knew they would be coming off as soon as I bought my truck. First thing I did, pulled in the garage and pulled them off. Got $300 for the set on E-bay. I would rather have sliders then mud flaps for $300!

 

I am one of those strange souls who leave everything stock on a vehicle.

 

Just got a ticket on the way to Vegas for no mudflaps (nothing else). C'mon man. I am tired of being harassed by CHP hoping they find a teenage driver and something else. Once they pull me over and see a nearly 40 year old, you can see the look in their eyes, like damn, I thought I was going to harass an 18 year old. Oh well, another ticket for my buddy to sign off on. He thinks its funny.

I have drove lifted trucks for years and never been pulled over for mud flaps. Recently, I drove a lifted F-350 and Jeep Unlimited with no problems.

 

i only took off the front ones. i dont think chp will pull you over for not having the front ones. not having the rear ones is a different story

 

If you do not take them off, they will fall off eventually if you - a. Offroad, and then the tree huggers will get you for littering, b. hit a curb mall crawling as mentioned above, or any other action simular to above. If you just drive your truck around just as you would a Camry, you will probably be ok...

 

By the way, are your tires wider then stock or the body of the truck? I understand if you have aftermarket or larger tires which are wider then the body they will ticket you without flaps, but I have never heard of anyone ticketed for just not having flaps?

 

haha yes i know but my parents get anal about me taking off what came with the truck.. i took off just the front ones so they wouldnt freak out and they still havent noticed but as of right now im only driving around town and the dunes. no offroading for me..




YET

i think theyre just a tad wider. look at my build and it shows it there.

 

i like to keep them on, keeps the rock chips down alot

 

ya know I always had them on...even when I got the Kumho MT's. Today I just took them off and I'll tell ya...it makes a difference in how the truck looks.

 

yeah two of mine got torn offroading so i did the deed of ripping (literally) off the other two..

 

Took my fronts off about 6 months ago when I put nerf bars on. Put them back on after a detail over the weekend. I may trim them, but too much crap getting sprayed on the truck.

 

i voted left on but then i remembered that my front two fell off muddin one day so i only had the back ones

 

just took all of mine off. I broke the first mount so that was the lesson learnt required to remove the rest safely.

If I sell these will I need that one mount?

has anyone that has removed them done anything creative to protect from scrapes (3M clear plastic protectors, 3rd party shorty mud flaps, etc. ) ?

 

I tossed mine in the trash.

 

well you dont have an option for ripped off while offroading

 

same as TACOkid09 took the front off the 3rd day i had it. left the back. prob going to just sell the fronts! (already have someone that wants them.

 

ya i got mine ripped off in the woods and it i have marks on my fenders from where they where at im just about ready to get some bushwackers
