FJ60 Mud Flaps - Please respond again! (1 Viewer)

[BarnWalker89FJ62]

Good afternoon - my rear passenger side mud flap is doing its best to go back to 2019 (or 1989 for that matter) - just like we all are. The lower of the two mud guard screws no longer makes contact with the "backing" that would otherwise attach it to the panel. I have read about removing the original adhesive "gunk" and I get that - but I cannot find a source for what the screws actually screw into.

I looked at the front driver side mug guard and saw that the screw is embedded in this sort of a clip that allows it something to hold onto.

Before my rear mud guard successfully socially distances itself from the rest of my rig, any suggestions on best fastener set up to reattach if I remove, clean, refurbish and reattach? The screws are in good shape - they just need something to screw into - thanks in advance for any advice.

There are threaded inserts (grommet as Toyota calls them) that press-in to the sheet metal back there. I'll try to take a picture, but here are the parts from partsouq. One thing I'm not sure about on my truck, is that the holes for these inserts at the rear are round, which makes these inserts a bit useless. So I just bolted the flaps on with stainless hardware. On the front of my truck, the holes were square so I could use the inserts.

EDIT: Looking closely at your picture, it looks like the grommet is in place. I don't see anything missing.

Can anyone confirm if the 62 flaps will fit a 1984 FJ60?

 

[SteveH]

Yes - all US-spec '60 series flaps are the same.

Not to hijack the thread but since it’s been revived, I’m looking for a rear passenger side flap if anyone has one they’re looking to get rid of

 

[ace7141]

No worries. I need a rear right, so we can split a set haha

 

[georgebj60]

Well if anyone wants to split a set of fronts, I need the LH front!

 

[Graniteone]

I am looking for fronts in decent shape if anyone has them. Paypal ready

 

[randomuser72]

Sounds good to me ace!
Side note why does no one make reproduction flaps?? seems like there’s a big enough market

I'll be here's why: Molded rubber is expensive, and each flap has a Toyota-trademarked term on it.

So, then the Chinese should be blowing amazon up with them!

 

[ace7141]
