FEND-X Tacoma Wheel Liners

Alright, liners are ordered!

Oh, and Cody @cnote4l I forgot to put in the comment box that my front bumper is a Demello, if that makes any difference. Thanks bro

 

I met Cody on Friday and he measured up for my trimmed fenders w/ aftermarket fender flares and my Demello bumper so maybe he can use that front end template over onto yours. They'll tuck into the bumper for some ridiculous coverage. Honestly couldn't believe the size template he made and what will get produced. Really good dude, down to earth and definitely has a love for his products.

 

Does anyone know how long a typical order takes from order date to shipping? I know supply chain and production are still generally an issue, just curious what the turnaround time is.

 

Sweet! I need to get a set of these ordered for my 2nd gen. The 60MPH gusts in Oregon pushed my OEM inner fender liner into my tire which quickly ate them.

 

Has anyone heard from Cody recently? If so please pm me. Thanks

 

Have you called the phone number on his website? I haven't heard anything from him since my order in early March. I was thinking of giving him a call too

 

I placed an order February 4th, and haven’t gotten a shipping notice yet and can’t get a response from them on here, calling or sending the company website chatbot thing a message. Going to call again

 

I communicated with Cody yesterday fellas. He’s been having a supply issue and grinding to get caught up. Hope this eases some minds like it did mine.

 

I placed my order in February as well and I just spoke with Cody. I was starting to think something was up because I couldn't reach anyone. The long and short is basically his supplier deliveries are unpredictable right now and causing a bit of a backlog. They are working through orders as quickly as possible as supplies come in. All orders are made on demand and typical processing is about 5-6 weeks. Given the supply chain issues it sounds like we just need to sit tight a bit longer. I feel better now.

 

I had the same experience and started to think something was up. Check out the recent posts to help ease your mind. I feel better now having spoken with Cody and better understanding his supplier issues.

 

I spoke with him on the phone and he assured me he’d be shipping soon. I just didn’t know 4-6 weeks sometimes meant 8-10. Now I know. No big deal now that we’ve communicated

 

Ordered these back in February. Haven't heard a thing. I DM'd through here and tried the text function on his site. Nothing.

And this isn't the first time he's done this crap. But at least I got a response last time.

Busy or not, this isn't the way to run a business. Especially when you already have a customer's money.

If I don't hear anything by the end of April I'll dispute the charge and attempt to get my money back.

 

Tell me about it

 

So I received my order a couple weeks ago, I have trimmed fenders and for the life of me I don't see how these actually fit. I'm trying to mock them up and the sit way lower than the edge of my fenders due to the firewall. I've left a few tabs to secure these in place, bit no way it's bending that way to get them in place. I'm starting to think these don't work unless I literally trim them down to a 6 in strip.

 

Kind of hard to see what your doing from that pic. You left tabs on the outside of the fender yea?

 

I left tabs that are bent inward so I can attatch it to the liners. That's really not the issue. If you look at the pics my fenders are a lot higher than my fender wall due to trimming. I don't see any possible way to get the liners to meld up against the wheel well and to sit on the tabs to secure it.

 

This part sits quite a bit lower than my actually fenders.

 

How much did you trim off the fenders? Looks like a sledgehammer would be needed to help persuade the firewall to line up better with the flares

 

That's not sledgehammering, that's tubbing and no need for that. I trimmed 2.5 inches off my fenders. I was told this shouldn't be a problem but it's starting to seem this will not work, unless I'm really missing something here.

 

I ended up scrapping the fend-X liners and went a different route, so I don’t have pictures to show how to use the fend-x liners... with that being said, you can use a heat gun/torch to heat up the material and form it to go around that bulge
