wheel well liners

[SAnagnostis]

Anyone using the ones from Dodge? Do you need to drill into anything to mount them . They seem like a good idea in areas that have alot of salt in the winter.

The liners are GREAT! no drilling and take about 10 minutes per side to install. You'll LOVE'EM!

 

[Buzzer]

I agree. Something that belongs on the truck and very easy to do.

I installed both the splash guards (mud flaps) and the liners on the day I took delivery of my truck. You have to drill to install the flaps. The flaps aren't quite large enough to block all the spray from the wheels and will probably be inadequate for oversize tires.

No drill install, takes about 10 minutes per side to install. Best investment you'll make.

Have you noticed mud and snow building up behind the liners? The reason I ask is because if it does, you could have bigger problems with rust later on. I've thought about getting them, but don't have a problem with rock chips like others have and I also use the large frame tube for tool storage. If I did add wheel well liners, I'd cut out a hole in them so I continue using the tube for storage.

I agree with Crunch. It's much easier to pressure wash under there without those liners. That salt spray is going to get up in there, with or without the liners, but at least without em, you can clean up there.

If you are near Monument, CO, I have a pair from a 1997 for the rear wells in good shape - free to TDR members. No trying to ship these though, too big to make it worthwhile.

pm me,

Got the liners right when I got my truck. I went through last winter with the liners on, tons of salt and sand here. This summer took them off to put on my 5th wheel hitch, then put them back on. There was no sand or anything behind the liners, they provide very good protection for the wheel wells.

Rick E was right on the $$$ the liners are great and the mud flaps are not large enough, especially for larger tires.



The factory wheel well liners were installed new @ the Dealership and they work great, look great and I have not noticed any crap building up in the wheel wells, salt, sand, snow, etc and I live in VT with some pretty bad driving/road conditions ... like right now and tomorrow morning! Already run through heavily salted/sandy roads this Winter!



They really look great too! I'm fairly sure they install quite easily and the only drilling required is to mount the mud flaps!

Put them on right after I got the truck 1 yr ago. Driver side went on real easy. Passenger side drove me nuts. Finally pulled & pushed it into place.

Have a cattle ranch & have to drive through BS. Tires throw it all over the liners. Cleans right off with a pressure washer. If the liners wern't there I would have it all over the inside of the fenders. Hard to clean and major corrision problems. Love them.

Get the liners. Protection and your truck will look better, IMO. doc

Beleive it or not the underside of the bed is actually dry above the liner after driving on a rainy day. I don't see any debris above them. They're much easier to clean than the under side of the bed and with them installed it doesn't sound like your driving a soda can on a gravel road anymore.

My first trip down a gravel road, listening to the gravel bounce off the back of the cab convinced me, next day I picked a set up at the dealer. I've been through plenty of snow and sand here in Colorado with no build-up problems. Well worth the cost.

Had mine for 30,000 miles in Michigan and love them. Haven't had any issues with snow or salt getting up or behind them. Truck looks much nicer with them now and make it a ton easier to clean. Simplest investment to make and well worht it. Also installed the Mopar mud flaps. They do help, but with 315 BFG's I still get stones kicked at the rockers now and then.
