Default rear tire well covers

I thought I read some where that you can buy the rear fender well covers that Dodge seems to have left off. The mounting holes are there but the shields are missing [:'(]
Can you buy these somewhere? How much?

I bought mine from the parts department at the dealer. They fit right in with the existing pre-drilled holes. Very simple install. From what I remember, they were relatively inexpensive.

I bought mine from dodgeparts dot com on the net. The liners were fairly cheap the shipping was a killer.

Mine were about $90 total from the stealer. Easy install and really helps with a finished look. After I put them on I wondered why I didnt take the time (15 min.) and do it earlier.

Next comes the fender flares ($$ ouch $$) and flaps.

I got mine from my boss when I retired.
They fit right into the wells very nicely and the screw holes are already there.
The part that took the longest was removing the flaps so the liners could be installed.
Alltogether, mebbe an hour total to install both.

Somebody on here said they were part of the 2UG package. I have that package but none on the truck , window sticker shows package but not liners. How do we know for sure if they're supposed to be on the truck? How do we get the dealer to install or are SOL?

Nope, they sure don't. Easy to install though, took about 10-15 minutes max.

Easy to install = not really the point.

I think it's a shame that you spend 40K on a truck and it doesn't come with real fender wells. Sure you could say that you don't really NEED fender wells, but then again I don't think you NEED a vanity mirror either. This really sucks !! Between these fender wells and the missing heater cords I'm really starting to wonder where else Dodge has cut corners.
