Removing front plastic splash guard thing

Cruecible · Oct 1, 2014

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic piece that the front mudflaps attach to? I took out the 2 screws I could find in the wheel well and pulled on it generously, but no luck. It seems like it's attached in the middle to the body by a retaining clip or something. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Yes its just some snaps to the the Body. I gave mine a good yank and it popped off

Cool, thanks. I was thinking it was that easy, but I didn't want to pull too hard and break something. I was more or less going to see if I liked how it looked with them off so I didn't want to break them in the removal process. But I have a feeling I'll like them off

Here is a more side shot of it. Actually one of the first things I did...tires were gonna get them off if I didnt

My 32s BARELY miss them. I'm not sure if ill take them off unless I go to 33s.

I kinda like the look with out them but I also kinda don't.

Got around to taking them off after I figured out how they slide off the plastics pins. Still need to pull the pins out though, but so far I'm loving the look. I was debating on taking off the plastic trim piece over the wheel well, but I'm going to take that off today. Now I just need a new front bumper to complete the look...

I'd keep the trim piece on top, it keeps the fender liner secured and not all floppy like.

Ah, didn't even think of that. Good call sir, thank you

Mine are still on the truck, though I've cut the inside of them a lot. The fender is cut all the way back to the tub and the trim is cut to match. I had to do that going to 33s but as Deeb said, it kinda keeps things in check, so I didn't want to remove the whole price.

You had to trim stuff even with the 2" BL and 3" SL? Granted, I'm running 33x10.5 but I haven't had to trim anything. Maybe I need to do a full flex test

I think the 1250s made all the difference in cutting.

Fair enough. I'm going to get 12.5's for my next set so that will be my time to experiment
