I tried the rear husky's for about a day and took them back because the adhesive didn't stick. I exchanged them for WeatherTech, and have had no issues. They actually look and work pretty good.. The only issue I've heard about is if you are backing up your truck and hit something (like a snow bank) they could pop off; however, that's probably a potential issue with any rigid mud flap.

Like my Weather Tech No Drill Flaps. Form fitting. Easy install. Rock chip count WAY down. Easy to clean. Good color/texture match for the factory black mold trims. Relatively inexpensive. Came with the install tool.

 

For those who chirp about a lack of idiot proofing for backing into things I ask. IF you back into a pole and dent the bumper/tailgate/box is that a design flaw of the truck as well? :idiot:

Sorry I'm late getting back. My installer drilled the holes and they install 5-7 sets of these a DAY so they were pretty quick. Drill the holes and brushed on some quick-dry primer while they installed a liner and tonneau. Went back and installed the flaps in about 5 minutes total after that.

 

I have not removed them but each flap has about 4 screws that would come out quickly with a power screwdriver if you wanted to take them off. Most of the screws go back in to hold the wheel well liners in place and keep dirt out of the newly drilled holes.

no worries. i opted not to drill the hole for the rear flaps just yet. I'm going to see how the adhesive along with the clip hold up first. now i need to go find some mud to drive through to see how they do.

I'll see if i can get some when i get home before it gets too dark. they're actually pretty subtle and don't stand out that much.

After my range therapy session last weekend and getting mud all over the place, I will be getting some of these. I watched videos of both the WT and the Huskies. I think I will go with WT for the ability to take them on/off if I ever decide to.

Weathertechs have served me well this winter

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
