Rough Country Wheel Well Liners installed

Does this go on top of the OEM plastic liner?

Negative. It has to come off.

No, the oem liner is removed completely. These replace them.

Slick!

The rears aren’t installed correctly. They should tuck behind the metal fender lip.

I got my ARK mud flaps. And was finally able to tuck the wheel well liners. Thank you again! @StreeTaco

So they fit the SR5 ok then? Just got a 25 SR5 (first new truck) and getting ready to pull trigger on RC rear liners. I've already ordered the Arc mid mud flaps and front wheel liner. I live on a long gravel Rd in WI so much needed protection!

I’ve had no problems so far. Working great.

Put them on my OR. The middle flaps around and needs some method of securing the center. Gonna modify mine around the shock tower as thats making it stick out.

I installed those but easy is not the term I would use. That Toyota bracket that connects the bed to the wheel well body was a MFer. Those screws were delicate without the wheel well liner. Glad yours was easy. I didn’t remove my tires.

I agree. Just installed mine and thought to myself why mess with those bolts and bypass the others. Oh well, installed and looks good. I did ziptie the lower middle section to the rear diff bumper bracket.

Looks good guys. I want to get some too but waiting until after I eventually do a lift. Don't feel like having to remove them for the lift.

Just saying thanks for the link. Before I bought the truck I didn't realize that the rear bed sides/ wheel wells were completely open. I just assumed they were like other trucks that have stamped wheel wells that join to the body work. So these liners look like a must-have for the winters up north!

I'll probably have the undercoating guys do their thing first, then install these liners.

I elected to remove these things. I only had one installed, and it didn't fit. I struggled with it for a couple hours...

I tried a heat gun to stretch the plastic. It sort of helped, but it would have taken a lot more melting and stretching to make it fit right. I also found an online review saying a heat gun was required, so I guess it isn't just me.

Maybe they fit better with the plastic fender flares on the TRD? I have an SR5 with all metal fenders.

I was also concerned that the plastic being so thick and pulling on the sheet metal would grind sand and grit against the paint. The OEM liner is the same type of plastic, just thinner. My gut says the more compliant, thinner plastic will be better for the paint long term.

I still like the idea of these liners, but I'm not feeling it. I'd love them if they were flexible urethane instead of hard plastic? And if they fit right. I know I am giving up some frame protection by going with the OEM liners, but I undercoated with WoolWax. That should be enough protection.
