Anyone install these liners from Rough Country? Do they really do anything as far as protecting the rear components from water/rust? I like the look of them but is there any real functionality?

I installed the Husky liners and had to modify them considerably to get them to fit.  Maybe these will fit better.  Based on my experience I wouldn't recommend the Husky liners.

The Rough Country liners I got for my 2016 were more like a do it yourself kit.  Like Mac-427 I had to cut a couple of inches off of them to make them fit. 

 

They were okay to keep the rocks from chipping the paint but were loud. Some don't like the factory liners but at least they deaden some of the noise. The Rough Country liners just change the pitch.

I installed husky’s and love them. Didn’t need to modify at all, so not sure what the other person had to do. Was a very simple install, and cleaning them is so much easier than gm’s felt liners.

None at all. The fronts have the felts, which help, but IMO road noise doesn’t change at all with the Husky’s in the rear.

I put the factory felt ones in the rear and they have held up nicely.  Buttoned right up and only had to cuss and swear at 1 clip that I can remember.  Noise seems to be slightly lower but that could be my imagination.

The issue with the Husky liners depends how fussy you are with the fit.  In my case, I wanted to make sure all the screw holes aligned perfectly and the bottoms of the liners tucked in behind the  stock factory splash deflectors.  As a consequence, I had to shorten the Husky liners and test fit them several times before I achieved a factory like fit.  If I had it to do over, I'd get the factory liners rather than anything after market.

Maybe you got a bad batch? Mine fit perfectly.

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
