Gatorback mudflap install with liners
Anybody put on those flaps with factory wheel well liners?...Just a heads up. Tutorials dont mention drilling holes through the liners where the nylon square push in things are. Mine even popped out from the liner being tight to the back of the aluminum. So you will need to drill holes to let the flap mounting screws pass through the liner....I'm doing it now. I'll get some pics later.

You can see where the holes need to be behind the square nylon inserts. I didnt take pics of the holes and didnt want to take it apart. You can drill the holes after the aluminum is in. just pop out the square things....Oh, and dont take the two little factory black hexes out all the way. just loosen them and the aluminum has slots to slip it in.....and give it a little bend /curve before you put it in.

QUOTE=Robeleo;17701329]The YouTube video does say about drilling the wheel liner[/QUOTE]Does it?....must have missed it....Anyway just finished it up. Kind of time consuming and painful if your back feels like mine. Getting the wheel well liner out in the back to remove the screw you have to take out was a bit of a pia. I started out trying to be gentle with it , but that didnt last long.....was trying to post pics, but it times out with my slow connection....

They are Gatorback mud flaps, I got mine out of Canada in late 2016 but he has since retired. Truckware carries them. They are pricey but worth the money in my opinion(but not everyone's for sure) and for a set of 4 for dually trucks it will run you $500-700 usually. I didn't install them but had my dealer do it for $125 over a couple of hours or so.
