Like many peop,e I removed the body cladding years ago and while the holes in the rear quarter panel bugged me I just always chalked it up to bugging me less then then the body cladding. I had seen a few excursion with small panels and over the years I have kept an eye out for them on exe's being parted out and get on eBay but never saw any. Until a few weeks ago. Only problem was the wanted to much for them. So I finally got around to seriously looking for them.

Turns out they came on the 2000 XLT model and low and behold Tascaparts.com had them available from the factory !

Before

 

Mmmmmm factory minty fresh

 

Easy as duh !

 

Don't forget to order some new plastic push rivets.

Ordered mine from eBay but Napa also carries them.

 

Thats awesome. Do you have a pic of the whole rig?

 

It's an XLT stone deflector still available from FORD.

I have an extra set.

 

To add another source for these I got mine from Autonation Ford White Bear Lake

 

Mecdac, you have a pm on the extra set

Edit: or will when I get home and I'm not mobile.

 

Gladly, I hope I can work out a reasonable delivery charge.

 

I found my set on ebay. Had to get them from 2 different suppliers. The list price is not bad @ 30.42 but you can find them cheaper. Both of mine came with free shipping.

Pirate 4X4 did the one size rivets work in all the holes?

 

Edit. No. The 2 holes in the fender lip use the 7mm body screw with the large washer, the 3 rivets are used at the bottom edge of the rocker panel.



The rivets are used through out the excursion and there is only one size
100 Pcs Plastic Push Type Rivet Retainer Fastener Bumper Pin Clips for Ford | eBay

Ford also uses Christmas trees to attach panels such as the rubber air skirts in the engine compartment, they are also widely available.

 

Full truck pic! I'm 99% sure I don't want to remove my cladding but I could still be swayed...

 

Apoc, when I get home, I will upload a few of my rig. I have the stone guards, and I am the same color as you...

 

Apoc, here are some full shots where you can see my stone guards. Most recent photo to oldest photo...







Edit: here are two from the day I installed them...
