Wheel Well Liners
What are the pros and cons for installing the wheel well liners? I guess I understand the pro's.. keeping dirt/rocks and whatever you might kick up from hitting the engine, gas tank, brake and fuel lines too. What are the cons? I see a lot of trucks that don't have them and wondering what I don't know I don't know. Thanks

I wouldn't be with out them. I drive on dirt roads and they use a lot of road salt around here. The liners keep some of the nasty stuff off the underside. Those that stick to dry paved roads probably don't need them as much.

There will always be stuff trapped between the liners and the body. The aluminum should hold up better than steel. How about a spray on bed liner instead?

Pro: they finish the truck. You will no longer see the bed/truck paint color bleed through in that exposed wheel well. Once you install the covers, you will be impressed by how much more finished the truck looks with them there.
Cons: they're not free. Potential to trap moisture and debris between the plastic and metal, I suppose.
It's probably the best mod I've done.

Mine is in post #21 and also see post #46 here.
And, as you can see, the common theme is that his has been discussed a ton here and there is a lot of information you can find through a search.
Good luck.
