ARK Splash Guards installed

[morsk]

Any issues with warranty after installing these? What about extra service costs if they get in the way?

Why do you think these should affect warranty?

I fonly got around to the front splash shields and revisited the rear driver one. I'm still not convinced they're installed correctly, like over or under the existing felt liner correctly, and definitely the hardware is a largely unanswerable question. I found no holes where the video showed them and the hardware count vs what was included couldn't be reconciled in every case. Every hole has a fastener they're not going to fall off, but I wish I was more sure. Maybe I'm just dumb.

All looks right to me although hard to tell for sure.

Nice. Thanks for the pics. I was considering the splash guards just working on an issue with the flaps first. Did you also get the mud flaps? I noticed you have a trail hunter. Trying to find out from other TH owners if they are running into the same issue as me. I ordered the mid size mudflaps and crash bracket delete for trailhunter. The delete worked but the front mid mud flaps did not fit properly and seemed like they were supposed to bolt into the crash bracket delete. I opened a ticket. Jason from Ark sent me a newer version of the flaps for a TH with a different type of delete cover that can bolt onto the flaps and it also came with an additional spacer for the upper part of the flap. These parts still did not fit correctly. Waiting on a reply back. Not trying to hijack your thread but definitely want to know if you got the flaps as well and if so which ones.

I bought the full length flaps. I tried only the rears and they did not just "fit right up." I have not revisited them or the front at all. The entire experience has not been "bolt right up" as advertised in my experience. Mostly lack of documentation, partly packaging, mostly on specific instructions. Like, is the Trailhunter different? Do I need the crash bar delete? Missing hardware. Hardware is otherwise a mess.

I believe the TH has a slightly deeper bolt layout at the fronts maybe due to the extended fender flares. Hence, the spacer the new kit came with. The new unreleased set may be more of a test kit. The measurements still seem a bit off and they extend much further out than the first set which looks a little off. With the spacer in place there’s a pretty unsightly gap between the flap, spacer and lower fender that can be seen from the side and cant be hidden. Not a good look.

I do appreciate Jason's attempt to help though. I’m certain he’s a busy guy so I’ll wait a bit longer for a response. I don’t want to give Ark a bad wrap especially if the company is willing to make things right.

At this point If I can trade both of the mid flap sets I have for the micro flares (as long as they fit a TH properly) and the difference in price added as credit towards the splash guards I would be happy. At least the OP (thanks again for the pics) validated that they do fit properly on a TH. Still want to know if its just the splash guards you picked up.
