    How much space do these lines give you over the stock ones near the cab mount where most tires rub?

    1 inch +/- gain. Pics should show the area in question here, this is the Wheel Clearance allowed with 285s / no CMC / Factory Fender Flares = Zero rubbing on Wheel Liner.

    We have an ARB bump on 3rd Gen but can cut Liners to spec for any bumper. Got a pic of the area?

    Interested. I don’t see any mouthing holes in the liner, does it just sit up in place inside the wheel well? Sick of dirt/mud getting flung up into my engine bay because of no liners. Is Aug 8th when they are shipping?

    Correct, the wheel liner holds itself in place based on our design span from fender to frame. This in effect locks it from any side to side motion.

    Oem fenders have inward tabs that the fender flares will reattach too once the oem liner is removed. The Fend-X liner can run above these tabs and along the edge of the entire fenderwell. (Follow outer edges in pic below)

    Nowadays, no two Tacomas are alike which is primarily why you see no mounting holes. Mounting possibilities are endless with the Fend-X liners, and can be tailor to any Build.

    August 8 is end date of Prezorder session. Shipping is set to start week of August 12-18, for orders placed week of July 8-14 and proceed in weekly waves until current on pre-orders. At that point, there will be established lead times listed on product page.

    Our photos show liners mounted with zero hardware to depict its versatility. That said, we still recommend anchoring the Fend-X liner spaced out 2-4 points max. Any over that threshold is overkill because liner will retain shape and never drooop

    The underside of bumper would remain exposed based on how aggressive it angles forward. Could have 2 shields fabricated given the dimensions

    i think I'll just try out the design you already have and see if i can fold the forward section up. with all the discounts you're offering it's kinda worth it to just give it a try. which give me the most material to work with? the aftermarket bumper one or the factory bumper version? thanks

    Factory Bump option is longer and would give you the most material to work with!

Following each shipment, all orders will receive tracking information and shipping confirmations, these notifications will be delivered via email and derived directly from the website!

    This is awesome. I will need this at some point in the future. My liners are chopped up and could use replacing. Subbed!
