Just put my husky mud guards on last night. Went with the husky's because my truck came with the factory running boards and only found the husky's were compatible. They use the 2 current rock guard attachments in each wheel well (you leave the rock guards on) and you have to drill one more hole in each wheel well for the uppermost attachment. I was a little leary drilling 4 1/8" holes (one in each wheel well), then I noticed there were rust specs on the fender flange already...so what the heck, drill away! I did put some paint in the drilled hole and on the fastener after it was installed. They fit great...will try to take some pictures this weekend.

 

Lardman - Pictures would be greatly appreciated. I'm scheduled to get the same Monday when I get Line-X'd. I'd like to see how they will look. Thanks.

 

Sorry it took so long...pics are now in my gallery.

 

Thanks for the pictures. Looks good. When I held the Huskeys up next to the Arizona beige trim I decided I would rather have the guards match the beige. So, I'm back to square one. Ford sells the Arizona beige but they only fit the King Ranch (I know, I should have bought the Ranch). The thought of painting the guards does not appeal to me so I'm still looking. Anyone know where to find beige guards to fit an '05 Supercrew equipped with full factory running boards?

 

The Husky's even include painting instructions. IMO, I'd just paint them.
