I’m not but if I did Janos it will be
If anybody tries this, please post results. That would be great!
That's the thing bothering me about mine currently. I got an Overtrail+ with rock rails. The problem is the running boards kind of block rocks and debris from flinging up on the lower part of the door just above the plastic trim that protects the very bottom. Since that part of the door faces a little more downwards I'm worried it's going to catch a crapload of rock chips if I go down a gravel road, which I tend to frequent. Will let everyone know if I find any mudflaps or protective films that might fit well in that area.
Every single one of my old Jeep Wranglers had door hinges that were chipped up for the same reason.

I'm betting that the Toyota dealership's Land Cruiser mudflaps will transfer to the GX.
Has anyone yet tried any flaps? I def need something on my OT
I'm looking into making a set of short mudflaps that just come down to about the level of the side sill. Something to provide coverage for the area pictured below. It's just thick rubber that is easy to cut and then bevel the edge. I'm really interested in those Jaos extended fender flares....

I have some old defender flares I may cut up and try, but hoping someone had something fit up without any cutting/customizing. With the stock tire setup on the OT, you definitely sling mud/dirt/water all over the side and rear.
The Land Cruiser mudflaps will not work without modification. I went ahead and modified for the front, ordered Jaos for the rear.
The front may work if you have the sliders, but the running boards are too long.
Wow, thank you for posting this. I tried to buy from Toyota but they didn’t have them, fortunately. I’m hoping Lexus will have some with time.
I purchased on ebay from a China seller. They were stamped with Toyota and the correct part # for '24 Land Cruiser and came with hardware. The front holes lined up perfectly. They would have been a perfect fit for the front if not for the running boards. The rear are not even close, I was going to cut them, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I can't say that I particular like having to cut the front in, but they look ok, you really don't notice unless you are looking for it.
How did the rears NOT fit? Did the holes not line up? They mount behind the rear tire so the running board is not in the way.....
Their the correct shape, but the bottom of the flap is about 1.5 inches below where I think it should be. I would need to add an L bracket to attach to the bottom of the fender. If it did fit, there are not any existing holes, that line up, I would have to drill holes. After seeing this, I just ordered the JAOs flaps. I wanted to go by a Toyota dealer and look at how they are installed, but didn't get a chance.
From where did you order the Jaos flaps? Can you provide a link? Thx
Never mind. I found them on eBay. After looking at them, I think i prefer an all black look without the Jaos branding and white trim. My future OT+ is going to be the two tone Incognito/black roof and I want to stick with the all black contrast to the cool gray paint. If anyone has found non Jaos mudflaps that are all black, please post. Thx
