If you have any trim above the SR5, i think you should be good. Look at the top of the fender arch. If you see two bolts, youre good.
It does suck, they are such a great idea. With they wouldve thought it out more. Even with the correct trim, they dont utilize all of the grommet holes that the OEM one does.

For an SR5, the wheel well liners are a No Go. Such a great idea, but pretty much none of the holes line up. Im kinda pissed, as they were expensive. Im gonna talk to RC tomorrow and see about returning them. Im guessing the TRD's have different mounting holes on the fenders.

I’m glad I came and looked here before pulling the trigger on these (wheel liners). Did RC have a response for you?

@StreeTaco did you get yours yet?

They refunded me and let me return it. They didn't even question it. It looks like it's only Functional with the off-road trims that have fender flares. Those fender flares have extra bolt holes drilled in the top arch of the wheel well that Rough countries liners mainly attached to. You can drill your own holes in the fender to mount them. I wasn't keen on drilling into my brand new truck.

They also didn't utilize all of the available grommet holes. It was a really good idea, not executed as good as it could've been.

The skid plate is great. Super heavy and thick. I cut out my own access holes for the oil filter, oil drain, and front diff drain. Put nut inserts and fab'd aluminum covers over the holes.

WOW! I’m noticing that now. Freaking awesome work How’d you go about cutting the access holes? I recently got the RC skid plate installed the other day. I definitely got to get these access points now. AND the aluminum covers ! Lol
