    Edited: Have anyone installed these? I just installed one side. They look good. The only concern I have is they only mount to the 2 upper retaining clips and to the edge of the fender where the fender flare is. My concern is on the inside, in the middle, that makes for a very large body of plastic that is wobbly and is not mounted to the frame in any way, is that ok?

    Installed the other side, and it is worse. It is almost an inch or less away from rubbing against the tire. I used duct tape for now and pulled it back. Maybe after some heat and cool down cycles it will fit / form better.

    In my opinion the fix should be about a 3 inch wide plastic block with double sided tape to stick to the bed and liner. That would keep it away from the tire and would reduce the wobble .

    I’ve been looking at getting these. Is there a way to maybe drill into the frame and thread it to use screws to attach it?

    I got everything tucked in- I remember loosening, repositioning and tightening several times to get it right. Did you get the instructions sheet with pictures? If not- I still have mine and can take pics if that will help

    I wouldn't drill in the frame but I might consider 3m tape, or Velcro

    What a job!! Heads up Pro owners! These tubs weren’t made for the 2025 Pro . RC screwed me again!! The Pro has extended fender flares and there are no 2 holes at the top of the fender wells for the tubs to screw into. Plus, you have to remove a lot of plastic screw grommets, which they do not give you enough of.

    I had to carefully remove a bunch of the grommets and reuse them which made the job take much longer. I also made 2 small holes at the inner bottom areas so I could zip tie the floppy inner plastic to the frame. I could see these flopping around driving folks nuts with the noise. After all the trouble, it is better than stock now.

    I used 3m velcro. Seems to stick pretty good for now. One of mine showed signs of contacting the tire after installation. I didnt want to drill into the frame.

    Where did the tire contact it? Hopefully not the top. I zip tied the rear to the frame so I think mine should be good there.

    bed prolly flexs/vibrates independently of frame and that is why there is no mounting to frame?

    Yikes! I didn’t think of that. With mine zip tied to the frame, if the frame and box move independently, I could really mess up the fender wells. But having them loose seems like they will contact the tires plus flop around while driving. Poor design/build.

    I also zip tied mine to the frame so far so good. I've had zero issues. I really like them.

    I put a 4"x5" velcro at the center area where the liner contacts the flat suface of the frame. Mine showed circles around the interior surfaces where apparently had contacted the inside surface of the tire.

    Taco001, is your truck a Pro? I wonder if the Pro’s wheels are more offset outward than other Taco models?

    My solution is to do a double sided tape to the side of the Rear bump stop and I wrapped some sound deadening on this type of hard packing foam as seen in photos to the rear portion. It acts as a small spacer to account for the space
