Just got my 4crawler 1 inch body lift installed finally. I want to run front mudflaps once again to protect my paint.

So if you are lifted and running front flaps can you show 'em off please? And name the manufacturer? I had read some time ago that 01 Tacoma factory flaps would work but can't seem to get anyone to confirm that as a fact.

My baby is too pretty to be constantly spraying the body sides with water or debris. The Bushwackers have helped immensely but many of you know me-I am never satisfied...

On a completely different topic (hijacking myself is fine) thanks all for the help with LED tails, and axle seals, and Ivan Stewart rims and sidemarker LEDs, and the Basslink horizontal mounts and so on...great group over here.

Appreciate your support during this period of my underemployment, my Census job has ended, now I can get back to my real love modding my rides!

Best group of friends I have never met in many cases.

Speedy did a good job with his. http://www.speedysgarage.net/sportrunner/index.htm. Once there, click the link that says "front mud guards".

Tacoma mud flaps do fit. Two holes line up on the flare, the third inner you need to drill a hole, then insert one of toyota black plugs that the flare screws fit into.

Ron Helmuth

thanks CYi5

what year Tacoma flaps if you know?

CYi5

They came off of an '04.

Ron i have the SR5 fenders and the front mud flaps are toyota parts but i dont have the part numbers. I bought them off here. When i find them, I'll update the post.

Ron Helmuth

thanks Saul but I don't have the SR5 flares. Mine are the Bushwackers. I had that hideous chrome trim going on before the Bushwackers.

They're going to get torn off if you ever do any type of wheeling.

saulgoode

I'm sure at some point they will, but they haven't yet. I don't do too much wheelin as it is. and it looks better with front and back mudflaps!

hmmm...why not Hurculine the rockers?

I know that mine isn't lifted, but did you consider making your own mudflaps? I made my own, and I'm quite happy about how they turned out. I just used rubber that I bought from lowe's and just drilled two extra holes and used the other existing holes to attach the flaps. They are 99% effective at keeping mud/rocks off my door panels and the only place that they don't block is the bottom portion of the rear fender flares. No problem though, some 3M vinyl will fix that.

A few pics if you are interested:

what he said. I took all of them off.

96743runner & CYi5 --

Do you a part # or a link to order a set?

Both of you have just what I need for my 02 runner...

Thanks

who needs mudflaps

96743runner

I cut them myself from a rubber sheet that I bought at Lowe's.

jrm

If there the right ones and end up looking like those on the web site there going to look great with a little trimming off the bottoms.

The p/n and "G" style code designates that these are for a chevy mini van or a ford ranger. We'll see. Ill post pics

Do you (have) a part # or a link to order a set?

96743 -rubber you bought at Lowe's- can you be any more specific? We have Lowe's here- but the staff I have asked has no idea where to look for the rubber material you mention. You seem to indicate some holes were already drilled in it and those matched your existing mounting points?

Cyi5 can we get a part number from a Tacoma front set? Or can someone PM me with a Tacoma VIN # so I can look up on ToyotaParts Zone?


dave-White Herculine? no I would not be putting black Herculine at bottoms of my gorgeous white doors, I must be missing the point or you're jesting me...


Again only needing front flaps-rears are fine.

Never have had any issues when off-roading-mine have never hung so low that they were pinched by rocks or logs. If that becomes an issue I have seen some postings on how to pull them up out of the way or will simply remove them for the hardest of the hard core trails.

Thanks for the help guys and the pictures go a long way towards understanding how they all fit up. I do recall experimenting with some Contura flaps a while back and they just were not anywhere close to matching the curve of the fender.

This is what I'm going to be doing with mine. If I remember right he used 3/8" ABS for his front mudflaps. Had a local plastic shop cut them and I believe the dimensions are 11" x 15" with a 1 1/8" radius at the bottom.

Ron Helmuth

thanks wormhole and when you find em if you would post up a brand or where to buy-those would work fine too. Anything to block the path to the door sides-and those do not seem to hang real low for the off road crowd.

Don't quite get the 3/8" reference-that would be just under half an inch thick? Maybe it is me who is thick...
