Today I was going to work on the knife… but change of plan & start making custom mudflaps for the Highlander. I’ve found out, no brand make aftermarket mudflaps for the new gen Highlander, so I gotta make my own…

For the mudflaps, I’ve cut out the cardboard into the shape of mudflaps (Rally Armor universal fit) & aligning all the holes into it.


Front mudflaps looks fine w 12”x15”… but rear looks weird…


They’re both have ground clearance of 5.5”… but visually near looks lower than the fronts. To resolve this issue, I’ve ordered 12”x19” to see if it looks better for the rear. I’ll find out later.

As for the brackets, I had a spare aluminum sheet which not been used for anything, so using that to make the brackets. Cut up the cardboard again & designed the brackets.


Front brackets looks good… but the rear, I’ve overthink & made it complicated than it need to be. I’ll be redesigning to making it simple “H” shape instead.
