I feel the same way. For me it would appear it would just be for appearance at that point and serve no purpose. But everyone has their own idea of what looks good.
Just wondering, do the two of you have the product and know how they perform? Maybe Instead of jumping to conclusions based on assumptions, possibly wait for some reviews to come in and see how they actually work? Ark is a very small start up company trying to make a new product, let's see what they actually do, before just guessing. Benefit of the doubt, yeah? I have a pair and as soon as I get them on, I'll let everyone know the unfiltered way the work. Thanks!

Really need rokblokz to just come out with their 4R 6G product already, rally armor pricing is straight nonsense and ark's polygonal look is a real acquired taste
I had the Rokblokz on my 2017 Tacoma...awesome product. I'm waiting for them to come out with one to fit the Trailhunter.

You haven’t noticed from all the other posts that she has to express her opinion about everything. I would be surprised if admin hasn’t said something to her already.

I ended up buying the micros for my trailhunter. If I did it again I think I would go micro in the front and mid in the back. Overall I really like how they look and they were not super expensive

I think what you said is where I'm leaning (front Micros and rear Mids). I am pretty much set on the mids on the rear but I was wondering how you've felt the micros on the front have performed now that you have lived with them a bit?

I'm getting spray up along the doors without any flaps even just daily driving (understandable but I don't want the toyota ones) so I'm looking for something that just knocks that down a bit without having a massive flap hanging down. The micros are the ticket aesthetically, but have you felt they protect the doors/rockers enough?

The micros still get some spray on the rockers but its not much higher then the Trailhunter logo on the door. Before I put the micros on I seem to recall the spray going above that logo. I'll try to get a picture of what the spray looks like.

You rock, appreciate the photos!
You can tell it’s blocking the higher spray from that clean cut-off behind the front fender flares, crazy how it almost follows the body lines perfectly.

I feel like this would be enough for me most of the time. I did see someone on another thread talking about potentially swapping to mids or fulls like winter tires for road salt, thought that was intriguing since the micro fronts are only $26.

Thanks again, adding them to the cart now 🤑

I finally got around to installing the ARK Mud Flaps. So far, I really like them and I think they are going to have the perfect coverage. I was lucky and able to snag a set that are a size between the Micro and Mid and I think they will be great. Reach out to Jason over at ARK and he will help you out!

Can you share why you would go mids back and micros front if you had to do it over? Trying to figure out which ones to get. Thanks

Hey Chris. Just wanted to jump in here re: the ARK Mud Flaps. I have a Pro and without any flaps, the front tires kick back a ton of water, debris, etc. I have the mid's on the front now and I am thinking about maybe changing them to the next size up. I still get a significant amount of spray and road debris along the vehicle and that's with rock sliders installed as well. As for the back on mine, I essentially have the micros, but they really don't do much. If I was ever going to pull a trailer regularly in the rain or off-road, I would probably get the mid's or full on the back as well. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Zach. Very helpful. I just put the Pro wheels on our OR, and went up a tire size with a small lift. A lot of mud slinging happening right now. Want to cut it down but not eliminate the the aggressiveness of the new stance. Seems like the mids might be the best option for that.

You're welcome. Definitely try them out. I think ARK makes a great product and they seem to just blend into the truck, so they're not all that noticeable. Here's a couple of pics. Sorry they're so dirty!

I was just cleaning off the 4runner after the winter and noticed a few paint chips on the rear doors from rocks/mud flinging up. the micros do look cool but they really don't stop mud/rocks from flying back and hitting the bottom of the rear doors.
