Review on Dee Zee DZ17939 Universal Plastic Mud Flaps: Premium Quality & Maximum Protection by Mike Phillips

I installed them on my 2004 Tacoma 4x4 truck. At first I tried using the old Toyota valve as a guide, but then I realized I just needed to hold the Dee Zee valve in place so that it looked right and matched the two existing bolt holes. I marked these holes and then drilled a third hole to secure the top of the Dee Zee. This was easy once you made sure your holes were drilled correctly: use a piece of cardboard to create a template to place on Dee Zee. (Actually, you can make a pattern out of the cardboard that the Dee Zee is attached to.) You'll have to rotate the front wheel to drill the third hole, but it's not difficult. I'm not sure about the rear wheel arch. You may have to jack the truck up and temporarily remove the tire: yes, a bit painful, but worth it considering how much Toyota is asking for these flaps ($100+ each). . It's maybe 2 inches shorter than the Toyota flaps, but they're so long that they'll snap off if you drive over a rock (that's probably why you're buying new flaps, right?). It also expands outward by about an inch. the edge of the wheel arch - not as wide as the Toyota, but enough.
