I didn't notice it yesterday. In front of both rear wheels on the wheelwell.:

for how nice everything else looks, this just looks odd.

I'm not sure...but I'm glad my Splash Guards will cover it up!

Not if it's in front of the wells.

Correct. I suppose I could get two set of splash guards and mount one backwards

During my brief prefit, I think the splashguards cover that up.

It is in front of the rear wheel. Splash guards would probably be best behind the wheel.

I would take a stab that it is a assembly line piece to help push the beast along.

I just noticed that piece of plastic as well this afternoon. Have no idea what it is for. Until we figure it out, I guess it is just a conversation piece!

Helps create turbulent flow beneath the truck, therefore improving aerodynamics, handling and fuel economy.

Or.

Stone guards.

For after market running boards?

Even better. Dr Phillips can remove two screws. Took a closer look, I am going to pop them off when I have time.

Stone guards.

To protect the tires from stones?

Don't remove 'em. That will void your warranty, for sure.

They are for high speed driving in reverse to protect from stones.

I live on the edge of sanity, I am a rebel. I will remove them, and then scorn them.

Aerodynamics.

Ahh, I saw your reply to this effect earlier in the thread but as the conversation became punchy, I assumed as well. Ok, will leave them on then. Thanks!
