    I'm replacing the old dinged up front bumper on my 2009 reg cab 4x4 and I don't know what to do with the black wheel well liner. It sticks down below my new bumper so it has to be removed or trimmed back. Which one is best or easier?

    Thanks.

    I say, trim it.

    Drill holes as needed and zip-tie it up.
    I kind of like wheel well guards.
    Mostly because I tend to do most the work on my truck and hate working around dirt/mud.

    Are you placing it with an aftermarket steel bumper? I believe those come with instructions that say you have to trim the wheel liner.

    Yep. The instructions left off the part about trimming the liner. Thanks for the help.
