How to Choose the Right Rokblokz Mud Flaps for Your 2024+ Toyota Tacoma or 2025+ Toyota 4Runner
When it comes to upgrading your Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner, mud flaps probably are not the most exciting mod on your list. But choosing the right style makes a bigger difference than most people realize. The wrong setup can rub tires, limit future upgrades, or simply not offer the protection you actually need.
At Rokblokz, we build two primary styles of mud flaps for these new platforms: Rally-Style and High-Clearance. Both are durable, vehicle-specific, and built for real use, but they are designed for different types of builds.
This guide will help you choose the right mud flap style for your 2024+ Tacoma and your 2025+ 4Runner based on how you drive today and what you might upgrade tomorrow.
Rally-Style Mud Flaps
Best for stock and daily-driven setups
Rally-style mud flaps mount inside the wheel well, just behind the tire. This style is ideal if you are running stock wheels and tires or only planning a mild upgrade. They are a great match for daily driving, road trips, winter conditions, and light off-road use where you want protection from rocks, gravel, mud, and road spray.
If your 2024+ Tacoma or 2025+ 4Runner is mostly stock, sees a lot of pavement, and occasionally hits dirt roads or forest service trails, rally-style mud flaps are likely the right choice. They provide solid coverage while keeping a clean, factory-style look.
Because they sit inside the wheel well, rally flaps have limited clearance for larger tires. You can usually go slightly bigger than stock, but they are not designed for wide or tall off-road tire setups.

High-Clearance Mud Flaps
Built for bigger tires and off-road builds
High-clearance mud flaps mount outside the wheel well and are positioned farther back. This design creates more room where larger-than-stock tires need it most. High-clearance flaps are the better option if you are already running larger tires, plan to lift your truck or SUV, or want flexibility for future wheel and tire upgrades.
For both the 2024+ Tacoma and the 2025+ 4Runner, high-clearance mud flaps help prevent tire rubbing while still protecting your paint, rocker panels, and lower body from mud and debris. This style is especially popular for off-road-focused builds, overland setups, and anyone planning upgrades over time.

Choosing the Right Style
A simple rule of thumb
If you are not sure which way to go, here is the easiest way to decide.
- Stock or near-stock setup: choose Rally-Style Mud Flaps
- Running or planning bigger tires: choose High-Clearance Mud Flaps
Both styles are CNC-cut from Rokblokz proprietary polymer blend, designed to flex without cracking and hold their shape at speed. The difference is not quality. The difference is fitment, clearance, and how future-proof you want your setup to be.
Rally vs High-Clearance Mud Flaps
| Feature | Rally-Style Mud Flaps | High-Clearance Mud Flaps |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting Location | Inside wheel well | Outside wheel well |
| Best For | Stock or near-stock setups | Lifted or off-road builds |
| Tire Compatibility | Stock or slightly larger tires | Larger-than-stock tires |
| Driving Use | Daily driving, light off-road | Aggressive off-road use |
| Primary Benefit | Clean look with solid protection | Maximum clearance and future-proofing |
Why This Matters for Tacoma and 4Runner Owners
The 2024+ Tacoma and the 2025+ 4Runner are platforms people build over time. Many owners start stock, then add suspension, wheels, and tires later. Choosing the right mud flap style early can save you money and frustration down the road.
If you already know your build plans, choose accordingly. If you think bigger tires are coming, it is often smarter to go high-clearance from the start.
Final Thoughts
Mud flaps might seem like a small detail, but on a Tacoma or 4Runner they play a big role in protecting your investment. Whether you are commuting daily, exploring dirt roads, or building a serious off-road rig, choosing the right Rokblokz mud flap style ensures you get protection that works with your setup, not against it.
