I bought new wheels 17x8, 36mm offset and 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak MT tires. No rubbing. I also have a 1/2 inch lift.

Was is hard to remove this plastic? Did you have to remove the fender flares?
I cut my felt liner but I'll definitely order new ones. I have a 2020 FX4 with Fox 2.0 set at 2.75 with 295/70/R17 and at compression will definitely rub.

Dumb question.. what are the black plastic things lining the top of your windows. I always thought that was for smokers but I started thinking I really have no idea.

Being a former smoker in my past I always thought these were invented just for that purpose. Best ash and smoke sucking device ever invented! But in reality they were concocted for wind noise and rain guards. I know, really… ?

I had to take one clip out from the flare and take one clip out holding the felt so I could bend it back.
Then and loosened the two fender bolts on the bottom. The plastic piece had 4 bolts so not bad to remove. That gave me room to pull the bar out.

I put the plastic piece back on and the clips for the flare and felt.

I don't smoke. They allow you to crack your window without rain or too much wind noise.

Mine are Weather Tech. I have not had any issues with them so far. They did hit a little on auto up when I first put them in but not anymore.
I'm thinking these would be good to leave the windows cracked in this Houston heat

Did you purchase them through weather techs website? Every time I attempt to purchase from there I always hesitate cause how expensive their products are and then I agree to buy it and I always forget they charge a good amount for shipping. Is there a trick or coupon to use their or maybe some place else they can be purchased?

I got them on ebay from the weather tech site. They were $114.00 with free shipping.

been retired for 14 yrs now but I can still smell and taste them when I talk about them.
The way the lamb/meat is dripping with juices, fresh sliced with the amazing sauces they make. Mmmm. The states don't imitate it nearly as close.

Hopefully in next 30 days I can begin this project. The Ranger Cave. Base of it all is going to be a an 18' x 26' carport on 8' legs with the sides and rear closed. I am going to do a custom front with barn style sliding doors.

The garagezebo has served its purpose, but I've been needing a workshop and proper parking area for a while now.

There is no such thing as a garage that is to big.
