Anyone able to buy the wheelhouse liners for the rear wheelwells? Ive tried several dealers in my area and they all tell me the same thing. Have to order them, and they are back ordered from the factory without any ship date. Any mail order house have them in stock.

 

Thanks

Try oempartstoday.com. I have been pretty happy with them.

I picked some up a few weeks ago from the stealership. They had to order them, of course, but they were shipped in overnight and I picked them up the next day. Same with the locking lugs I ordered through them.

Not sure if you're on a budget or just looking for the easiest option--but I took a little bit of time to mask off the fender and rims and got a few cans of rubberized undercoat from the parts house. Put one coat on--let dry for a couple days---put another coat on--same process. Did about 4 coats, and now when rocks sling up, it's so thick that it really muffles the noise and they practically bounce off. When it comes to liners, I just look at that as one more thing to rip off when out in the sticks. Just my 2 cents.

 

Oh---and it takes about 1 can per coat. At $4 a can. Total cost around $20 bucks for both sides.

The wheel well liners also trap in dirt behind them, so coating them would be better IMO.

You could do that but you still don't cover as much as the liners do.

Just get the liners and be done.

AutoZone had the Rustoleum Rubberized Undercoat 2 for $6 the other day, picked up a few cans and when I have enough time to let the truck sit and its not raining I'm going to spray the wheel wells, might end up getting the plastic liners down the road but don't you also have to drill holes to mount the plastic liners, that’s the part I'm not so excited about.

Has anyone had there wheel wells done with the line X. My truck is going in on the 28th for the box and they said they could do the rear wheel wells also for a little extra $.

 

I was thinking of letting them do it as it would probably last longer.

 

Thoughts??

Go ahead and get it done. Line-X is better than getting the wheel well liners.

I bought the factory liners shortly after my truck was new. Although they come with screws, they snap in so tight I never used them. I also have the rear molded mud guards, but I don't think that affected the fit. It's been almost a year, and I'm still very pleased!

I went with the liners when I bought my truck. The one thing I don't like about them is they have a counter/channel in them that traps rocks/dirt/what not against the side of the bed. And with living on a gravel road there is constantly rocks in there.

 

When I get my truck Linex'ed in a month or so I'm debating on taking out the liners so that they can do the wheel wells. I figured that if there is that coating on there will be better protection then having the liner in there that traps rocks against the paint. Then again might just take the liners our and spary some undercoating protection in there and then put them back in... who knows. We'll see how bad it looks when I get them out.

I have heard a lot of complaints about the liners. That is why I went this way...

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
