What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got the rekgens on

 

Just got mine from UPS today. How are they looking?(your opinion)
What size are yours?

 

They are the standard size. To be honest, i was not impressed with how one of the bolts needs a spacer and so the flap sticks out over there, i got these for more tire clearance but i think i rub worse on the rekgens. The bolts are also not recessed like the factory flaps so now im rubbing hard on a bolt head. (Might be time to lose my wheel spacers which are causing the rubbing since id rather run mud flaps than spacers)

That being said i do like the clean look of these mud flaps

 

Thank you for the heads up. I had not heard this before. I’ll keep an eye on them

 

That spacer is ridiculous. Is it possible to make it happen without it? Aren’t the rekgens flexible? Could it get forced into place and given a little heat to mold it? Just wondering. I had to ditch the factory mudflaps, looking to replace with a flexible option

 

Yeah I’m not liking the look of the spacer but I’ve heard decently good things about them otherwise. I ordered to keep the paint protected and I’m not running spacers so hopefully no rub with just 265-70/17

 

You should be good

I think you could improve it with a heat gun but im not quite ready to mangle another set of mud flaps lol (RIP my OEM flaps)

 

Can you elaborate on the spacing switch? Just had a convo about this on the most recent page of this thread..

 

Is that the front that the spacer is located? Can you trim out a section of the mudflap so it sits more recessed against the truck? I had to trim a section of my front Rockblokz to fit the bigger tires

 

There is a spacer in all 4 corners actually. I think you could bend the flap more using a heat gun to get it more flush but i personally can’t think of a way to trim it that would help. Surprised ive never seen anyone mention this about these mud flaps before

 

Having RekGen shipped to Ontario was too expensive so I opted for a less expensive option. No spacer, just a bit of heat to move into place for the bolt further back in the fender well. Still are much better than the OEM tire sails.

I had to trim out the section in yellow on my rokblokz front to help fit the bigger tires. It pushed the mud flaps back and eliminated a spacer.... but it might be different on yours

 

I typically strongly advise against storing a spare on the roof... It reduces the roof's ability to maintain integrity in case of a roll-over... (Ask me how I know).

 

How do you know?

 

Found some grill lights specifically for TRD Sport grill from YotaLEDs. Trying to find a way to have it on with DRLs and not just headlights, but the add a fuse supplied with wire harness make it a plug and play for headlights.

 

Look for the “INJ” fuse!

 

RUNNING 4 TACO'S has a DRL harness

 

money!

 

Always!

 

Front has longer spacers than the rears. IN the packaging they just label them incorrectly. The put the front spacers in a bag labeled rear and vice versa. The spacers merely level the flap so it is parallel to the tire tread when they are in the straight position. Although I do find because of the extra space in that area, mud runs down the back side of the spacer...which doesn’t matter to me but might others?
