Good comparison pictures. The OEM flaps looks like Toyota went to the parts bin and grabbed some made for a Prus - total fail.
I am getting those or maybe Rally Armor ones soon. They have to be a big help for the rock chip problem.
Now y'all have done it, I went with the ARK mudflaps. I've attached pictures with the skinny stock flaps below the ARK flaps, and a side profile to show how much they stick out past the tires. Fingers crossed this helps.
Cool - the ARK brand look good too - thanks @Vidman and @StreeTaco . Both of those actually cover the tires and fit well with the flairs on the TH and Pro.
I put my rock sliders on today and when you look at the OEM flaps from the back they look like a joke - more like something from a Prius...
Yeah, I saw that too.. I have the crash pads still in place and the ARK flaps mounted. One of the flap bolts attaches to the pad. I left them in place. I do rub on the flap in reverse.. not really enough for me to worry about. I don’t think it would rub at all on the pad only without the flap...
I installed the Ark mudflaps on my Trailhunter and seem to do a good job at covering the tires. Haven’t had a chance to do any serious off roading yet but they are certainly much better than the stock ones
I see - yeah the flap is hiding about an inch? It looks good though and any fling should get caught by the new flaps - are you experiencing rock chips up in front of the rear fender / on the rear fender
When was your truck manufactured? Mine was built 8/10. My dealer just told me that it will come through San Diego or Texas and still 7-8 weeks away from being delivered.
Did you have to say you "worked for a dealer" or did you just tell them you were a customer trying to track down your truck?
I'm trying to do this for the Port of Portland but not getting any luck.
