Default OEM Mud Flap removed itself...

Wife backed over some stuff and ripped one of the factory mudflaps off rear drivers side.
Any advice where to find one online - after some modest effort searching not finding an OEM version and all else equal rather have it match the other 3 corners.
TIA for any resources.
Tim

I've ripped both fronts off now, and of course, they take the little trim piece with them. I bought naked trim pieces and just run without the flaps up front. I'll do the same as the rears get ripped off, I suppose. Or I'll just remove them and buy some rubber plugs of appropriate size for the holes drilled in the trim for mounting. That's probably a better move.

@NoGaBiker Mine came with flaps (larger ones). I like em, but wheel my truck and know its only a matter of time before they get ripped off. Pulled the front ones this weekend while installing sliders and am not liking the ghastly holes drilled in the side trim piece. Where did you get your replacement pieces?

QQ -- Which mudflaps are we talking about getting ripped off... The smaller ones or the bigger "classic ones"?

ine are Classics also, the large ones.

Bnoonan, I just specified the trim piece to my local parts counter, they ordered it and called me a few days later. The serial number of the truck tells them the color of the trim piece, I suppose, because mine are the shiny Narvik Black (I think that's what it's called) and the new trims were painted that already when I got them Literally 2 minutes to pop them into place with a hard thwack with my fist.

Missing trim and flap (I never found either -- buried somewhere in a mudhole. I probed for 30 minutes with a shovel and never found them.)



And with the replacement (undrilled, of course) snapped in place. I don't remember the price precisely, but each side was over $100 and under $200.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll reach out to the dealer and check. I'll report pricing back here for those that follow.

Are you ripping off mud flaps with stock tires ?

No, I'm on 33" Falken Wildpeaks on 18" Tuff Ant wheels.
But, given the stiffness of the flaps, I don't think it matters what size tires you have. You roll off a rock, those things are going to (or could) stick the rock and push up until they break off.
