Everything was as advertised. My only issue was that they are a little stiff. Some of the automotive fasteners are a little stressed (plastic). I think over time as the splash guards get their “muscle” memory from being displaced and they will be fine. Until then, I’m checking them on occasion to make sure they have not come loose. Fit is nice and I can recommend these without hesitation. Much, much better than what little coverage Toyota OEM does for me.
I just installed these front splash guards/fender liners on my 2025 Toyota Tacoma this afternoon. The instructions were super clear and included pictures of every step of the installation (except for removing the factory pieces on the passenger side, but that was exactly the same as the driver's side which there were pictures of).
The shields were very straightforward to install. They are high quality, heavy duty shields and I expect them to last the lifetime of the truck (hundreds of thousands of miles).
I am very happy with the fitment (a couple of the pieces took a little finess to get perfectly where they should be, but the tight fit ensures that mud, dirt, snow, slush, and most importantly here in NY state, salt do not get splashed up into the engine bay/on the firewall).
I highly recommend these to anyone with a 4th Generation Toyota Tacoma due to the gaping holes around the shock/spring tower on these models.
4 star review, haven't been put to the test yet but expected they will perform great and will probably justify a 5 star.
Pros: Superior coverage compared to the factory shields, this is the main reason for purchasing these splash shields. Material is way more robust than factory shields. Ordering and shipping were great, along with the installation instructions.
Cons: Installation difficulties due to stiffness/thickness of the shields and slight fastener hole layout/alignment, a few fasteners are under some stress after installation. Does the shield material need to be this stiff/thick, time and service will tell? After installation, the shields are a little too close to the brake lines, whereas the factory shield is formed to provide space between the shield and brake lines.
Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Definitely a massive improvement over the two piece stock fender liner that leaves the entire center open to road debris. This is a MUST HAVE mod for all 4th gen Tacomas.
Second set from Ark. First set on my 4Runner. This set for my 2024 Tacoma. Thick material. Good protection. Had to do some minor trimming but easy with a dremel tool. Definitely added some splash protection for the engine compartment. I recommend this company and their products.
