I have a 97 f250 and those years they put chrome plastic linings on the rockers and around the wheelwels and it caused some serious rush issues since water gets behind the molding and rots and eventually you need new pannels 10yrs later..Well I noticed on the ranger they put on the front and rear pannel plastic pieces that cover the body wtf would they do this for? Can I take them off so water does not sit behind it?

 

there more like mudflaps or chip resisters for rangers

kinda of wish mine had a set this dirt road i live off of is murder on the lower panels

 

Yea I figured thats what they were after I posted, but i do not live on rock roads or anything so are they just screwed in? To cold to go outside and look around lol

 

im sure there hooked up like the fender flares are .. a factory hole in the fender with a plastic rivet deal
