Short Course Style mid mud flaps/rock guards?

[WW_RANGER_X]

What do you guys think about them? I can’t find great pics but I know there’s at least one or 2 people on here who run them. I think they look rad, and protect rear shock shafts, drive shafts, axle housings..Some think they look like shit. Thoughts?

I’m a lowkey big fan of those. The front facing side of my axle, springs, and shock shafts/rod ends would’ve been saved from a lot of damage with a set of those.

What is the basic/generic name of the material use in the rally armor ones? I am a subaru dork so my wrx has a set already.

I run these EPDM rubber shock guards. They can be cut to shape and are secured using quality removable zip ties. They were a last minute idea before a trip and they have worked very well at protecting the shock shafts.

This way they are a little bit less noticeable.

While I’m a fan of their function, they look like a maxi pad hanging out of a skirt. I’m out.

Yes function winning, Look and execution on 99% of trucks = Failure

There was an explorer at Speed Metal in one of the booths (next to clean dezert) that had them and i think it looked very clean. Can't remember the name of the company though.

innov8 had an explorer next to us, but I didnt pay attention enough to notice them..

I think some vehicles they look cool. like chris's f100 looks rad, race vehicles look rad... the raptor you posted looks odd.... maybe its that i like the bigger flappier ones (on my women too. lol) but it takes me back to old school racing looks.

I like the idea and how practical it is, I just think its hard to "pull off" in a clean way. That said, I need to figure something out because the entire rear half of the bottom of my 4runner is hammered.

Some may know “The Fodge”. It’s a local truck to me here in Visalia. The flaps definitely do look better on a race vehicle.

I've always been curious why they aren't placed closer behind the front tires?

 

[Wes-Wheelin-Wheeler]

@_Cole_Taylor_ has some that look pretty rad on La Gordita Blanca. Gorditas with some big flaps? Sounds like a good time.

Let me know when you guys are sick of seeing these lol.

I just want to see more of that toyota p/u...

skylar_speedco on youtube and i think @skylars_Taco on IG just watched some youtube videos he put up in ocotillo wells.

I wish i wasnt stupid and always trying to over think, over build and over budget trying to keep up with my buddies. A 5 lug 1st gen tacoma with a LT kit or one of those older Yotas with a Kit and Leafs on it just looks plain "simple" and fun.

 

[85Yota]

Nothing simple about building a 5 lug tacoma. Stick with 6 lug tacoma if you actually want to build it. 5 lug is shit frame, steering, front suspension pivots, etc.
