Seeking Feedback on the Raptor Splash Guard hl3z7222e

I’ve recently been considering upgrading my Ford F-150 Raptor with the Raptor splash guard (part number: hl3z7222e) and want to get some feedback before making a purchase. I’ve heard a lot about how these splash guards can really enhance protection against mud, rocks, and other debris, especially during off-road adventures, which is something I enjoy quite frequently.

What to Consider When Looking at Splash Guards

  1. Material Quality: I’ve seen options in rubber and plastic. From what I gather, rubber is more durable, but plastic might be lighter. Has anyone had experience with both materials?
  2. Fitment: I want to ensure that the splash guard fits perfectly with the Raptor. Any advice on how to confirm compatibility?
  3. Installation: Is it a DIY job, or should I solicit professional help for installation?
  4. Performance: How effective is the hl3z7222e compared to other aftermarket parts? I want to know if it truly stands up against harsh conditions.

Your Thoughts?

If you have any experience with this specific splash guard, or know of any reviews or comparisons with other products, I would love to hear your input! Any pictures of it installed on a truck would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I recently installed the Raptor Splash Guard (HL3Z7222E) on my 2019 F-150. The installation was pretty straightforward, taking about an hour. Just make sure you have a good socket set!

That’s great to hear! I was worried it might be complicated. Did you need any special tools?

4

The only tool you really need is a socket wrench. If you have some pliers handy, they can help with stubborn clips. I found some extra clips might be useful too, just in case.

Good tip! I wish I had known that earlier. Do you think it would fit a 2020 F-250 without modifications?

6

Yes, the Raptor Splash Guard fits the F-250 as well. No major modifications needed, just pay attention to the alignment. If you’re careful, you should be golden!

Awesome! What about installation time? Is it similar to the F-150?

8

It took me about the same time as my F-150, around an hour. Just take your time to ensure everything’s aligned properly. Enjoy!

An hour isn’t too bad! I might get my husband to help—he loves tinkering with cars!

Teamwork makes the dream work! Just make sure to have some snacks ready to keep the morale high during installation.

11

Snacks are crucial! But yeah, the instructions are pretty clear, and if you’ve got some DIY experience, it’s quite manageable.

12

What if you’re a total novice? Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?

13

For beginners, just double-check everything before tightening. I once installed it too tight and had to redo part of it. Not fun!

Oof, I can relate! Any other humorous tips to lighten the mood?

I’ve been using the Raptor Splash Guard for six months now, and it’s been great! It definitely keeps mud and dirt off my truck, especially in rainy conditions. Highly recommend it for off-roading enthusiasts!

In my experience, the Raptor Splash Guard performs well in various terrains. I’ve tested it in muddy fields as well as on gravel roads, and it stood up nicely. My vehicle stays clean, which is a huge plus!

I agree with you, satkinson! It’s been a game-changer for me during camping trips where roads can get pretty messy.
