That's quoted from only ONE source that knows it as Wheel Well trim.

Seems you are one of the few that DOESN'T know it's proper terminology.

][ thought ][ was wrong once,.... but ][ was mistaken,.... ][ was right. As usual,....

You're not right, you're dense, can you not see the differnce between silver paint and a chrome molding? That little chrome molding doesn't cost $300.

No, no, no, the thing I ordered was actually white, and it's the big hip thing that covers the dual wheels in the back. I don't care about little chrome molding strips.

Wait, you can't have a ranch and not know how to weld, one of you is going to have to learn how to weld, seein how accident prone you both are.

I know, huh? Because I'm getting rather fond of all that welded oil pipe fenceline, too!

But me, with a welder? Didn't we just HAVE a wildfire around here somewhere?

Welding is a piece of cake, ask that welding neighbor to show you how, I learned to weld at age 12 (Cause if we didn't fix what we broke before dad got home, things got ugly)

You goofy bastards are still arguing about this?

you created a whole new term ah:


'bumper tards'

Yeah, that would work. My husband already freaks when the horseshoer shoes up and he's not here.

"I'll be next door getting welding lessons"....not so good.

Wait, you own a ranch and don't shoe your own horses?
Just kidding, that's one thing better left to a professional farrier.

I've never shod my own horses. In fact, there's only one here now who even has shoes on, and that's just the front.

Call me old fashioned, but that's man's work!!!!

I catch them from the pasture, or bring them from the stalls, and they get about 20 minutes in the round pen before he ever gets here. That's just common courtesy.

Oh, and I bring a cooler of beer to the barn for him. Say what you will about me, but I'm a decent hostess.

But they're not bumpers!

How about "FenderFighters", kind of like the Foo Fighters.

We have a ranch truck now, for obvious reasons. Well, I was never good with bumper pull trailers, because I have the gooseneck horse trailer.

The inevitable has happened. The truck has been backed right into a flatbed trailer, crunching the corner of the trailer, and the hip part of the dually. it's not a new truck (maybe '03 or '04), so I don't want to pay for OEM replacement part to just bolt onto the truck where the old one was taken off.

Question: What is that hippy part of plastic over a dually's rear wheels called? And who should I call to find a wrecking yard that has one? Is there like a national database or something? The old one just came off with a few bolts, so I assume a replacement shouldn't be hard. And it's a white truck, so it's not like I'm looking for exotic.

Little help?

The "plastic part" would be a wheel well liner. Typically held in place with push rivets. Those push rivets are actually more expensive then you'd think, that's why I typically just replace them with a bolt (usually carriage bolt), fender washer (on back side), and a nut, then just paint the exposed portion of the carriage bolt head with flat black nail polish.
