Ark splash guard problems!!!

Got them delivered Friday. Wrong hardware kit. No 3/4 bolts. 3 Different size plastic rivets... So freaking annoying. I get it first world probablems but I get so tired of the lack of attention to detail

 

Sorry to hear this. I ordered and installed the Ark splash guards direct from Ark themselves for my 2022 SR5 Premium 4WD quite some time ago. Everything was AOK. I’m very happy with them. Be sure to contact them and let them know what happened to you.

 

I remember the plastic rivets being a pain in the ass when I installed mine. They didn’t quite look the same as stock, and were a tight fit, and they broke if I didn’t get it just right when putting them in. They had extras in the pack, which is good since I ended up using every last one of them. I think they were all the same size, but I remember wishing they were smaller! Who knows, maybe they sent different sized rivets and I didn’t notice, which would explain the trouble I had installing them lol. I wasn’t expecting this to be a hard install, but in reality, more than a few F bombs were dropped getting it done.

All this to say, are you sure they didn’t include different sizes on purpose?

I don’t remember removing any bolts on the engine splash shields…unless I’m forgetting stuff.

 

They are sending me a new hardware kit. I appreciate them replying on a Sunday

 

Curious where the "3/4 bolts" are supposed to go?

And...you might have to trim a little in certain places. It was a bit of pain getting them in if you have external bypass reservoir suspension.
