Ok... all of you who took the mud flaps off, what did you do with that piece of plastic that goes up the inside of the fender from the mud flap to the bed rail? It was being held by a push pin with the mud flap, if you need me to take a pic let me know. Also, I wish someone made a completely enclosed inner fender well to keep everything out from up under the truck!

 

yeah take a picture since im not sure what you are talking about if you mean the metal bracket on the rears i left it on

 

zip ties

 

This might be something that only you new model rangers have, cause I have no idea what your talking about. I just unscrewed mine and they came off. There wasn't anything hanging or unsecured.

 

I used one of these:

 

I put a bolt in it.

 

on my 93 I took the bracket out and put the screw back in

 

Here are pics!

 

Hmm. I have fender flares so it may be different. I had a hole on the bottom lip of the bed. Just put a bolt thru it.

 

huh...I never had those either.

 

I have a hole in the bottom of the bed too, I used the push pin from the mud flap to hold it there, but last night while mudding I guess it ripped it out and I was wondering what you all did to hold yours!

 

i used a zip tie

 

zip tie it.... call it a day

 

you had the flappy rear mud flaps not the hard right ? with the metal brace. there was a nut that bolted the bracket to the fender? then a bolt up top holding the brake up.. take that bolt and that nut and use them right there.. they are the same thread...

 

removed it then called it a day

 

My ranger has something silimar. I current am running it on one side, and the other I havn't got around to putting it back on. Since you removed you brackets, I'd make a new "bed stabilizer". Or something to tie the frame in with the bottom of the bedside. And then connect it to that.

Or you could just pull those inner linings out.

 

i just stuck a bolt through it

 

i used the bolts that were used for the mudflap's bracket to hold it down.

 

my truck didnt have those

 

Remove it. Mine got so annoying I ripped it off in the home depot parking lot.

 

i did the same thing. the only difference is my truck is a 97

 

why??!?

it protects the underside of the bed. just bolt it in or zip tie it

 

Mine was annoying...it kept on making noise and collecting mud. Mine didn't protect too much b/c when I hit a rooster tail it just went everywhere.

Just rip em out bro...

 

Just swing by the dealer and get a "push pin"

 

That plastic is there to keep stones from denting the bed from the inside and to keep mud and dirt from building up and causing rust in the rear quarter panel. I'd just secure it to the bottom hole in the quarter panel with either a bolt or a new push pin.
