Alternate Front Mudflaps?

[EasternYeti]

knowing that the front Mudflaps are super expensive and hard to find, has anyone found a basic flap that will fit the front of our rigs?

Taking it a step further, has anyone finagled a DIY mudflap from an off-brand vehicle?? Sacrilege I know

I have rear flaps but it would be nice to have both. Spending 100+ on two pieces of plastic is pushing it for me.

I'm going to order a pair of these (there's like 6 different models) and figure out which one fits best. The Tacoma guys seem to be using these with some success. Once I get them in i'll write a review for everyone, I cant be the only one who wants inexpensive mud guards

I want to see some of these on a 60, buy them and post pics....

If anyone has a better idea of which of the road sport flaps most closely resemble the OEM flap please chime in!

I don't have front flaps so I'm compairing the road sports to google images of OEM fronts. Also, a nice picture of an OEM 60 flap would be appreciated

Tereflex removable mud flaps is what they are.

Just giving you guys a quick update, I ended up buying the roadsport model (6) instead of the 7, the fit is superb and I'll upload pictures this afternoon!

Please do looking forward please show fasteners as well

 

[EasternYeti]

PLEASE NOTE: the p.o of my rig monster lined the wheel wells, subsequently covering some additional screws that you can use to mount these flaps. However, I found that using one bolt holds the flaps to my liking. I will be making some braces like the OEM flaps and will post more pictures then, in the meantime LMK what you guys think

 

[EasternYeti]

The mount, one large bolt through the existing hole, using the existing bolt that attached the inner fender and outer fender

 

[EasternYeti]

The material is actually very nice, they don't feel cheap. The rest of you could easily mount this flap using the two existing holes that would be available for the OEM flaps.

The flaps were $26.00 from pep boys using the PEP20 discount (fyi you can get 25% off as of today 3/31/16). A very nice alternative to spending 100 PER Flap for Toyota mud guards. Below is the actual model mud flap I ended up using

How do you guys not rip these off while backing up?

The thickness of the rubber combined with the way they are molded makes them very stiff. That was one of my concerns as well. They're actually a PITA to bend, so they don't touch the wheel at all

I used these. They are the same ones all the Subaru guys use, they were under 30$ and I just had to figure out how to mount them which was easy enough.

that's been my concern so I just left mine off. until I got pulled over earlier this week. I found my rear OEM ones but the mounting holes on the fender are all rusted out. once the body is done then I'll mount them again. I'm hoping that I can get away with a shorter flap so it won't grab the tire going backwards. may not happen but im not in the rocks that much where I think is the most common place for them to rip off. I like the ones yeti posted for the front.
