    I ordered a set on Amazon today as I'm sick and tired of running through 10 feet of wet dirt road on the way to my house and having the entire front and rear behind-the-tire well sides of my truck and the nerf bars covered in mud. Are they easy to install? Toyota dealership wanted $85+tax for the flaps and another $90 to bolt them on. I got a set of OEM's for a 2016 Tacoma for $72 shipped on Amazon.

    Yeah there are three or four screws to add and that's it. I installed all four of mine last year in about ten minutes.

    Super simple. You'll see what looks like plastic plugs, but they're also screw holes. It'll take you 15 minutes tops.

    That's what I thought guys! Thank you for the quick replies. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the dealership charges $80 to $90 to install them. They just went up to $60 to install a cabin air filter, which I can do in under a minute if I concentrate on it. I buy these on EBay for $7-8 shipped too!

    Yeah but take a look at plasticolor. Search forum for it. They're much cheaper and will perform better if off road. They're floppy not stiff
