As the rear mud flaps are too short, I thought I would just extend them. I had a couple of old mud flaps lying, cut them to suit the profile of the body curve. I only fixed them with self tapping screws, thinking that if they ever got caught the screws would pull out easily and not rip or damage the original or extended mud flaps. This didn't work too well, the first one fell off half way up the Hay River track and the second was missing by the end of the track. Made a second set, used nuts and bolts this time. Went 4Wding at Glass House Mts yesterday, guess what, when backing up a badly eroded section of track I managed to get the mud flap caught between a big rock and the tyre. The nuts and bolts did not give and I ripped the mud flap in two, the flap section right off the car, the back section that is part of the rear bar stayed attached. I wonder if Toyota will still cover the replacement of the mud flaps with longer ones under warranty?
