WTF Am I Doing Wrong (wheel well liners)

[HHHOGGG]

Did the Huskies in mine today also. First one took about 30 minutes. Trimmed about 3/8” off the bottom of both ends. Also drilled new 1/2” holes in the bottom edge of the liners about 1/4” above the exiting holes. Second one took about 10 minutes. They look pretty good.

LOL. Started out ok and in the daylight. Couldn't get the bottom bolts in lost the light...gonna have to take them back out tomorrow and do the trim thing.

You must be a dummy

I got mine installed on my '20. I knew it was going to be a fight from having installed them on my '18.

You can't put the liner in and then force the two lower ends up into the pockets cause you can't possibly exert that much pressure to seat it. You have to angle it in like the picture shows (with both lower ends in their positions) and then you just push the center section while pulling the liner section that will be screwed to the truck toward you to help flex it while you are pushing the "top" into place. I'm pretty sure that the whole idea is that once these things are in you almost don't need the screws to keep them there. But the screws do keep the lower middle section from flexing in toward the tire. I did wait until it was a sunny afternoon to do this and let the liners get warm for a few minutes. I also took the tires off because I was installing Rokblokz mud guards at the same time.

I did think about dremeling a bit off the bottom of the two sides so they'd go in easier. But didn't do it in the end.

They look good when the fights over though!

I’d like to jump in and ask, are the Husky liners superior to the Ford’s? Haven’t gotten a chance to see what the Ford offerings even look like yet.

I would’ve got linex in a NY minute if available. I called 3 different places and all said they will not do wheel wells.
But I should have just got the Raptor liner stuff.

Below is link for Line-X near NY they did great job on my truck

I did mine ,they r a pain ,I did not trim them .next time I would remove the fender flares . also they pretrial 4 holes from the factory om the liners, they should have done 6 ,the very last bolts on the fender flares r a pain to line up as there r no holes in the liners

 

[greatone99]

so I look at all the photos im a moron ,I did mine wrong, the lower portion on each side ,I have it sandwiched like the rest of the liner ,I did not realize the 2 lower edges go behind the sheet metal

Does look good. How much did that cost ?

View attachment 133074 View attachment 133071 I had mine Line-X. I tried the Huskyliners and they fit and looked like shit. Line-X is the way to go

Do these rub on the live valve hose coming to the shock? I feel like I read somewhere that they do.

Also, could they be installed and be ok without drilling hole C in the instructions?
