I was looking through the local Craigslist and there was a set of floormats for a decent price and the sale included rear wheelwell inserts if the buyer wanted them. I immediately contacted the seller to ask if they were the full MOPAR inserts. Of course he said no that they were the factory ones that only cover the rear section and that he had these because he had bought the full ones. I said thanks but I don't really need the floormats then and just forgot about them. A couple days later I was looking under the truck and discovered that the front of the rear wheelwell was shaped almost exactly like the rear side. I started thinking that I could get those inserts and put them on the opposite sides of the wheelwell but, of course, on the front side. I called the guy back and bought them today. 20 minutes later, and a little modifying too, and they are installed. It looks sooo much better than how it did before! Pics pending approval... They don't fit exactly like the rears but they are darn close...
It's hard to get a good pic because of where they are but I did the best I could. The wheel lip screws line up perfectly. Then you have to cut the ear off of the top inner corner and push it back until it hits the rod that braces the quarterpanel. You have to drill a hole and then put a screw in the mounting hole. That's pretty much it other than drilling a couple holes in the insert itself to hold it to the other fender support rod and putting a tiewrap on it to hold it in place. I'll get more pics if anyone wants.....
Did I mention how lucky you guys are to have me around here????
