    I haven’t found a thread yet about wheel wells. I don’t get why the newer models don’t have solid black well inserts?
    My ‘99 did cause I was forever scrubbing mud and using tire black on them. The front drivers side had a little flap to reach the oil filter.
    I can’t get use to looking straight through the truck and seeing all the suspension, motor and exhaust. Seems like all the road grime and gravel would be bad on the underside? Has anyone added them and if so what source did you get the best deal from? TIA!

    Those are really nice. Do you have any experience with them?

    No, no experience.
    I’m too “cheap” to buy them.

    They’re super durable and are worth getting his upgraded clips

    I’ll check out the links thanks!
    I have found little rubber pieces that cover some of the open areas from Husky’s.
    I just don’t get why they stopped being a stock part and I don’t see where they’re offered as an option either? Every car & SUV we own has them even our little ‘75 MG midget. They really cut down on highway noise too and stuff you run over like a road kill skunk that splashed up into my motor!!! That took a couple of trips to the car wash to get rid of!!
