New shape mudflaps

[Essay]

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement mud flaps, I've managed to loose one at the back, and never got front ones, Toyota have quoted R1650 :crazy:

Welcome.... Which one did you lose?

[AM Racing]

It will continue to happen. I eventually gave up and took mine off...

Welcome Steve! Mudflaps are always a problem in the bush. Also lost a number of them and eventually made my own replacements from conveyor belting ... more supple and less likely to snag .... also fitted some tie-back support lines to keep them away from the wheels.

I lost one ages ago as well, havent bothered replacing it, going to remove the other one too, its not worth constantly losing them

It might be worthwhile for you guys to check out what the Road Traffic Ordinances say about Flaps. They are a legal requirement in most cases ... definitely on a bakkie and most certainly on a 4x4. There are ways of preventing the loss of flaps in the bush. Check out the link in my previous post above.

I cut mine shorter. Always used to snap off, not any more
I'll post pics when I get them.

A legal requirement?? Now that I didnt know

Will go check it out thanks Mud Dog,
I actually lost mine on a pavement, reverse too close to the pavement, it grabs it and rips it off, you dont see it and drive off, Mud guard lost

Exactly what happens off-road as well .... very seldom ever that you will loose one going forward. Tie-backs can help.

Was busy browsing internet in search of rear mud guards and was directed to these posts.

As a new owner of an old 1990 model I am also searching for other parts and at least I learned a valuable lesson today.

START AT THIS FORUM. If you don't find info here it doesn't exists. hehehehe

Thanks

Try Goldwagen, I think I paid R900 for the whole set (4)

Just a tip for guys with Vigo's that keep losing mudflaps...

Buy Fortuner rear mudflaps next time. They are shorter and chances of ripping them off when reversing are considerably less.

I made new mudflaps from aluminium checker plate for my Hilux. I was told they wont last long, but hey.. they outlasted the original Toyota stuff now, so I am happy..
