    Just got my splash guards in yesterday. These things look SOLID so far. Thanks to OP for making these - I'll post up pics once installed. Still debating bolts and washers vs. those clips posted a week or so ago. Trying to weigh what is easier to get off/on when needed against what will hold best.

    Thanks man! As for the debate between bolts vs. clips in your situation I would suggest to mount 2-3 bolts in the most accessible area but spread along the top to carry the weight, then clip up the rest.

    Either way let me know how it goes and have fun with it, your gonna love the clean new look!

    Now that there in good hands let us know when you get it mounted!

    Your #100! PMd

    Im glad there hasn't been any buyers remorse, and I appreciate your opinion! I'm sure your install looks badass and I hope you enjoy the clean look and function of the guards for years to come

    I installed mine today with push clips aka xmas tree clips. Really easy to put on. The construction material is excellent and the fit was spot on. Thanks for a great product OP

    Awesome bro! Thanks for sharing your experience. If your just using a type of push clip this truly is plug nd play! Post a pic if you can. Thanks again for ordering :thumbsup:
    Yea these would absolutely set it off in the front, and cleans up real nice. Xmas clips are a type of push clip that helps to pin down areas that are not easily accessible to fasten with a nut.

    I will begin a 5 batch list and mark you down! PP Codyshook1@aol.com when your ready. I ship in The order payment is received. Pls include your TW username and shipping info in notes section of PP.

    TOTAL is 43.60 gifted or 46 for goods and services.

    PM for price if you need hardware or Xmas clips included.

    Does it matter what side they go on ? One of them had a extra hole and the one side fit better than the other. Other than that they are awesome

    Each side is universal, some trims have that extra hole on the passenger side to tap into. Other than that there is an existing hole about 1inch from the prepunched hole your referring too that I tapped into. I can post pics of that tomorrow for you if needed. Btw thanks for ordering enjoy the ease of washing the truck!!

    I have shock tower gussets and installed mine today, no problem. I used 5/16 plastic rivets and they fit great.

    Thanks for sharing the fit with the shock tower gussets I had another member asking about that the other day. And that's a clean install, props.
