These mudflaps look rigid and probably will stand the test of time but it would be nice if they were contoured like the OEM ones. Thanks for showing the install Rich.
Thanks for stopping by! I pretty much stay away from the larger brands: Specialized, Trek, etc. I'm sure they're great bikes, but they have been "corporatized". My Pivot comes from a company that's still privately owned and going after the best bike on the planet. I've been on Pivots since 2010.
Yes, all stock screws get removed....including the hidden one on the bottom I pointed out. I only replaced the ones on the bottom.....otherwise the new flaps' screws get used in the existing holes
What is a reasonable distance between the bottom of the front mudflap and the ground? Im looking to replace the front set on my 2014 Tacoma. The ones I currently own have about a 3 inch clearance to ground, which seems too long. Thinking about getting something shorter.
@@tacomanetwork Appreciate the response. My tires are stock. I've only owned this truck for a few months and the long mud flaps on the front came with it. I always thought it looked a little odd. Thanks.
I'm holding off for now - it's a 2022 with 18K. I'm being frugal trying to use the stock tires up. Hopefully in summer 2024, I'll add a 3/2 lift, 17" wheels and some 285 Wildpeaks. But, I want to do it right with the right items (for the lift)
When I got my Taco I was hoping someone made a more discreet looking guard, lind of like in the arav that would offer some protection but blend in wirh the running boards. These look sturdy for 4x4.
These have faired pretty good on my pretty much stock suspension / wheels / tires Tacoma. They're a nice blend of semi rigid and flexible if that's a thing
Wishing they both hung a little lower (about 2 inches lower), and also were way more flexible. I guess I ask too much. All of them, especially the stock flaps, are too damned stiff.
@@tacomanetwork yeah, off-roaders simply remove them because of how they break and how stress that happens can break its mount too. That's not a perfect solution. A longer, more flexible mud flap makes a lot more sense to me.
To Flap or NOT to Flap...which one are you? 🤔
Lol -“skinny-ass stock tires came off a Camry”! Dope vid!
Thanks JB!

Yeah, I like the look of the stock versions best.....but they easily get in the way and get broken easily.
I have the Rekgen flaps that are all plastic on my 23 TRD Pro. They are solid and look excellent.
Nice! They do make some great products.
Excellent Vid ...ONLY one problem: Ride SPECIALIZED! 😜

@@tacomanetwork I concur
Just curious, do you remove all the stock screws or replace them in the unused screw holes and leave open the holes for the new screws?

Yeah, that's pretty low. I would say it depends on the tire you're running - but a good 6" from the ground.

I need these on my 23 tundra… throwing rocks and crap all down the side of my truck haha
They're a great quality item - these are a bit overkill....but check out what fits the Tundra on their site
Will they bend out with time and wind pressure while driving ?
I doubt it, the plastic section is a good 1/4" thick. the steel re-enforced section is just at the bottom.
Going to be honest. I wish they had some sort of contour design. Don't like the flat look.
Good info....The stocks are really contoured though
can i use these on 5th gen 4runners with 33” tires?
RekGen only has a couple offerings for the 5th gen 4runner and not the sliding version. Not sure if the bolt pattern is different or what...
When are you going to lift it?

Yeah, I can't agree more - especially the flexibility portion. The stocks are really bad.

No such law in Texas
Maybe not in the land of trucks 😁
