I went with Husky because I previously had installed the Husky wheel well liners and heard that the WeatherTech flaps don't play well with the Husky liners.
Can anybody confirm this? I'm considering getting the Weathertechs, but I don't want to have to fight with them if they don't work with the Husky liners...

I'd recommend the Husky liners for you as it'll keep the mud in the wheel well and not up against the frame and undercarriage. They also make it much easier to clean your undercarriage.
Thanks for the perfect timing of this thread. I reached the point tonight where I have to take action and stop the debris from collecting on my power folding running boards. After driving around the community of Valley Forge this evening, this mess collected on the running boards and I did not even go off road. It looks like a set of WeatherTech mud flaps are in my future.
Again, Thanks a bunch for this wonderful and timely information.
A few things I don't really like about the Weathertechs I put on.
First, you have to remove the molding under the back of the front wheel wells. It leaves an unfinished look with the exposed sheet metal. Most probably won't notice, but I do.
Another thing is that they are quite a bit wider than the stock tires, which I would think has to affect fuel mileage at least a little.
Last, that screw indent on the rear flaps looks cheap.
Don't get me wrong, all of these are minor things and none of them are dealbreakers. But if I did it again I'd probably get the OEMs as they seem to be a bit better thought out design.
If you have the factory running boards mud flaps are a requirement in winter weather. I'm lucky my front passenger door wasn't damaged when my son opened it when the running board had a big ice clump built up on it.
Ditto exactly, except we get no snow her in Florida
My Weathertechs bug me so much I might just trade up to factory. AR/OCD issues... LOL
I have the Husky rear wheel liners and installing the weathertech flaps every November and removing every April is not a problem. Maybe 5 minutes per flap, on or off.
I didn't have to remove any moldings under the front wheels, maybe something changed since 2015.

I have the Husky liners and Weathertech mud flaps. No problems at all with either.

I have Husky wheel well liners and weather tech mudflaps. On the rear, the lower outboard screw requires a nut on the back that I couldn't get to with the liners installed. I chose to cut a little section of the liner out. On the passenger side, I had a rough time getting the upper tab thing on the mudflaps to engage in between the liner and the actual wheel well. I had to get my wife to push in on the liner while I turned the engagement tab. Neither one was a big deal, just a nuisance.
So id say they don't play nice but it really wasn't that big of a deal. Someone else said it, I don't like how you have to remove the front molding piece off (it even tells you to cut it), don't know if any other brand save it.

I had not realized you had to cut anything to install the Weathertech mud flaps - I would not have liked that at all. I used the Husky mud flaps (as well as their liners), and you do not have to cut anything to install them. The tricky part with the Husky flaps is the little clear body protector decals they supply. I think they are supposed to keep your paint from getting messed up behind the areas where there is either contact or where dirt may gather (not sure and they do not say what it is there to protect). I spent 60 minutes installing all 4 mud flaps, and 50 of those minutes was carefully lining those decals up, then resetting them after I test-fitted the flaps to see if the decals were in the correct position. That part was really annoying, and many cuss words were used.

You don't have to cut, but if you cant get the push pins out, it tells you to cut them out. I have a remover and couldn't get them out, I cut them.
I didn't pick the husky because of the protective tape application and then the weather tech ones came with protective tape, lol.
