Husky Liners Stepping Up Their Game...............

......in the looks and advertising departments.

 

The new liners apparently have a logo insert in the mat like Weather Tech does. This is in both the X-act contour and the WeatherBeaters according to the ad pictures. Gives them a little more classy look, IMO.

 

I bought mine last year around this time, and they have came a long way. I haven't seen any of these new liners in person, and there is probably a lot of old inventory at the dealers and distributors? So, if you want the new look, it might be wise to order factory direct, or make sure your dealer is ordering new stock. My one year old design Husky WeatherBeaters don't look as pretty, but they do what they supposed to do, and well!

 

Just thought I would pass this on. The Husky Liners have a better fit in the 2014-2015 1500's than the other options, but now they look much nicer as well, IMO.

 

Check 'em out, I think you'll find them more appealing than before? If anyone has any of these new liners, please post actual pictures.

I have had my Husky x-act liners in my 2011 for about 3 years now. I love them.

 

They are super tough and they clean very easily. They are also a soft rubber that i like, unlike weathertechs that are a hard almost plastic like material.

 

Mine don't have that cool logo though.

I don't like the logo and glad I have the older design. I don't need more advertisement in my truck. I like to keep it plain and simple. If I get items with their names on it I hope I can take them off. I don't allow the dealer to put their name on the rear of my truck as well.

Mine are the older design and get dirty daily. I live in the boonies, work, hunting, and around the farm. So mine are perfect for me and obviously you. But let's face it, 50% of these trucks will never leave the pavement.

 

I would bet the name could be removed for those that don't like it?

I may have to buy some Husky X-act liners now. I hate how weathertechs feel. Especially when they get wet, forget about that. I think the weathertech liners are a safety hazard, I have no idea why people like there's so much. We ended up buying my dad some weathertech classic mats a few weeks ago. I wish I would have waited and got him the Husky liners instead. Oh well.

 

edit:

 

Just bought some x-acts for the front. I hardly have people in the back seat of my truck.

Had my husky liners about a week. We already have snow and sand on the road and they are priceless. Washed my truck yesterday and just pulled the X-act mat out and sprayed it off. No snow, water or sand on my carpet at all.

 

Mine have the husky logo just molded into the black rubber of the mat, not like the pic at the start. I prefer mine better

I just bought a set last week and prefer the older logo since it doesn't stand out like the new version.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. I just received my Husky X-Acts today. The new style emblem resembles the one on the Weathertech liners, which is easily removed. Has anyone successfully removed the new style stick-on logo? What's underneath? I figured I'd ask before I become the guinea pig. :D

Well, I took the plunge. The emblems peeled right off, but left some glue behind. After experimenting with some different products, I discovered that citrus-based Goo Gone worked the best at removing the residue without melting or distorting the resin the mats are made from. Underneath the emblem is just a smooth surface. I like the cleaner "debadged" look.

It's too bad Husky doesn't offer the center "hump" piece for the front on the X-Act Contour like they do for the Weatherbeater or I would have likely stepped up from the Weatherbeater (used in my last five vehicles) to the X-Act model. Maybe I'll look into a set of the X-Act for the front for the non-snow portion of the year and swap in the Weatherbeater system for the winter.

 

Now, if they could fix their web site so that you don't have to keep selecting your vehicle every time you switch from one product page to the next...

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
