Took off all four mud flaps.

Looks unfinished without them.

 

Haha, indeed. He felt stupid for doing so but knew it was only a matter of time before he'd get in trouble. He has huge tires on an F250 and I've always told him to design some mudflaps mainly for when it rains. Been behind him before and had to have my wipers on high and occasionally wash the windshield due to all the spray. He is making a set this weekend so he can get the ticket dismissed next week.

 

The day I got my truck (just 3 weeks ago) I immediately took off all 4 mudflaps. The next morning, all 4 went back on. I took one drive down a gravel road and damn near sand blasted the side of my new to me taco

 

My brother took all 4 off and it looks pretty good, it does, however, throw rocks a lot because he has general grabbers, they tend to hit the body and under the body. imo you really only get hit by rocks if you are following too close but even then its pretty rare...

 

I would keep the fronts on but trim them, take off the rears.

 

I took two off after the snow took the first 2 off for me, and in my opinion the fronts were just hideous

 

for you guys that raw dog it (no mudflaps, which looks better IMO), what do you do about rock chips on the side of your Taco?! Just drive and not care about it? 3M clear protection? I'm thinking about getting some of the short Rokblokz and calling it a day.

 

It's illegal in some states to remove mud flaps. Check the law for your state here:

You guys that took of your mud flaps cause you thought it looked doorkey , your paint will take a beating and you will regret it. Been there ,done that.

 

I see a lot of trucks no mud flaps and nothing major of the paint.

 

No nothing major, but even if you don't go off road the water and sand from the road will eventually eat through the clear coat then the paint, may take a little while, but if you own your truck for yrs you will see the effects. They aren't on there just for looks.

 

Can someone please show me a picture of damage from now mud flaps.

 

Then why do you need to see pictures?

 

You just have to not be a Nancy boy. You're on the edge so you better take them off fast

 

I just cut my fronts down 2" and called it a day. I tested with them off and it really makes a mess of the side of the truck fast. My tires pick up some stones and I hear them blasting the flaps so I'm fine with the plastic taking the beating. I'm not that "guy" throwing rocks at your windshield, I don't like it I'm sure others don't either.

 

I already took mine off for 1 day and sandblasted the side of my truck by driving down a gravel road at 55mph. Put them back on the next day.

A few days ago, I ordered the short Rokblokz, problem solved.

 

I have taken off my fronts and the rears I have trimmed up, mainly to remove the 4x4. Minimal rock chips its a 2010 with 90k

 

Has anyone made filler plates for the fender wells after removing the flaps to cover the openings behind them? If so, what did you use?

 

Bad! get ready for a Paint Job in near future! Trucks have MudFlaps for a reason !

 

I took those ugly-ass mud flaps off at least 6 years ago. Haven't regretted it since.
