Installed Wheel House Liners Today

[Lincoln30]

The weather was great here today, so I finally got a chance to clean up the truck and put the liners on. The rather large box they came in has been taking up wayyyyy too much room in my garage for a month. I didn't remove the wheels and tires so I could only put the top two screws in on each side but I don't really think it needs the screws at all. The fender lip on passgenger side has a defect on my truck. It's double walled where the holes for the fastners are and the hole closest to the rear wasn't large enough due to a slight misalignment of the two "walls". I tried to force it but it just destroyed the fastener. It would be easy enought to dremel it out a bit but I'd rather not disturb the paint on an area that sees that much water and dirt so I'll leave it alone, the liner is not going anywhere.

 

I also took a pick of the CMS side tool box I ordered with the liners.

Those wheel well inserts look great!

where did you get those from....they are very nice

I think one on each side might look better but I only need one right now and while the CMS is an inexpensive option at $99. The bits and pieces to make it fun are pricey. This little box is over $200. It's probably something Sears would sell for $40-50. I do like that it automatically keys the lock to what GM key you use in it the first time.

It's a dealer item. I don't have the part number handy but I got the it from a older posting on here.

Is that the Chevy or the GMC part number? Same part does not fit both trucks.

That Key thing sounds really cool, I wonder how it works though... And can you use your ignition key?

The tumblers in the lock don't come set for a specific key; when you put a key in for the first time, the tumblers arrange for that particualr key.

So how have the liners been so far Dean? No noises or anything?

After one week, I don't notice any difference except easier to clean. I'm guessing they will make a difference in sound level when on gravel but I haven't been on any yet.
