Box Wheel Well Liner Question

revrnd · April 4, 2017

I looked @ my bro's '16 that has the liners. From what I could see, there doesn't appear to be any increased 'coverage'. I think the liners are more or less there to deaden the sound of any stones hitting the 'wheel houses'.

on my 2011 25HD with plow prep they were bigger covering the entire frame but on my 2015 25HD with plow prep they are not covering the entire frame ... the bottom of the frame is now exposed

I looked under my truck and see that area is covered in mud after a weekend at camp. I guarantee the inside of the light housing is coated. The wheel well liners don't block that area. At it to the list of dissapointmenta with GM engineers. Goin to have to clean it out and figure out how to cover it

You mean people take their trucks off road?

I'll post my template when I get my mudguards made up.

Hey, tell that to the dick heads in engineering at GM. Maybe it's because I come from a jeep wrangler but that truck is really hard to clean after a weekend in the mud.

The felt wheel well liners? What a nightmare to clean.

That being said, look at the Ford 3/4 ton (2016)...the area around the rear wheel is wide open and inviting for road debris.

I'm retired, so I don't have that opportunity

I'm going to be filling in my survey & will be mentioning the difficulty in cleaning the 'felt' liner.

I've been finding the pressure washer will clean up the fuzzy ones just as easy as the plastic ones did.

What he said. I use my pressure washer every time I wash my truck. The truck is black so I'm not chancing a garden hose to get all the sand and dirt off the paint before I use the sponge. Anyhow, I take a little extra time on the felt like liners and they come out good.

Every Sierra or Silverado I've owned has an unlimited amount of crap drooling out of the tail lights. Drives me nuts

Guys I figured out a non permanent fix for protecting the tailights from mud...

I cut a piece of 1/4" rubber mat into 14.75" x 3.75". Slipped it in between the sheets of steel behind the tail light, then fold the top over itself to pin the rubber righty against those gaping holes. Now I can still remove my "mudflapps" to wash the upper wheel well/body panel joint.

one easy way to resize

send the picture from your smartphone to yourself (email or text) and select a smaller size before you hit send, then use that one ...

Here's pics of my mud flaps.

Sorry for the sideways pics but y'all get the idea. The rubber was from a friend. He bought it by the roll to place in his home gym to replace the carpet. Very handy stuff
