Wheel Well Liners


Recommended Posts

Posted

They are fastened with three push type fasteners and four screws per side I think. You'll love the look of these. I am sure a spray-on coating would be nice to.

I happened to be close to the dealer I got my truck from today and stopped in to see if they had them. They had a set in stock so I bought them. I just got through installing the wheel well liners on my truck...big improvement by hiding everything you could see under the truck. It took longer to get them out of the box and separated than it did to put them in. I think it might have taken 5 minutes per side, if that long. They fit in place so tight that I do believe that they would stay in place without the fasteners. I just used the 3 push in fasteners on each side just in case, but saved the screws in case they do decide to work free somehow.

how do they install?

 

They go over the tires and "flip up" into place behind the tires, and then slide up into place inside of the rear wheel wells. You can remove the tires to get them in, but I got them in place in about 5 minutes with the tires on. They then "snap" into place behind the lip of the fender. The liners come with 6 "snap lock" fasteners and 8 self tapping sheet metal screws. I can't speak for earlier models, but on the 2010 there are 3 holes drilled in the lip on the upper fender. The snap lock fasteners go though the holes in the fender lip and into the holes on the liners. Push the fastener through and push the snap lock in and they in. There are also holes in the liners for the screws, but honestly, my liners were so tight, I didn't use the screws. Plus, I can't bear the thought of drilling into my brand new truck.

Would they look good with a lift? It needs something.

 

Yep, they look great with or with out a lift. Give the rear wheelhouse a perfect finished looked just like and SUV.

X2 what he said. Mine went right in without any tools needed.

I adde these instead of spraying, thinking it would contain the crud flung by the tires.They seem to do an admirable job of that, but the shape near the outside rear of the wheel well (at the very bottom) captures stones and crap. I may take them out and trim them so that doesn't happen. Wet crud = rust........

What is everyone paying for these? I called the dealership today and they said 118 each, im in canada so i expect them to be more but i thought people were saying $85 for the pair. About half the paint on the top of the wheel wells is chipped off shoudl this be painted before i put wheel well liners on?
