Any other wheelwell liner options?
I have now put three sets of rear wheelwell liners in my truck, the rocks just go right through them. Are there any other manufactures/suppliers than Dodge?

I didn't get mine from Dodge, but I figured they were "OEM" style. Think I got them from dodgeparts.com or something like that. Put them on with about 10,000 miles and now have over 20,000 all with mud terrain tires and haven't put a rock through them yet. I think they were only around 100.00 shipped too.

I have had the OEM rear wheel well liners on last two Dodges and have never had a problem with them. I do only light off road, but do go down many a gravel/rock road. You must have some very rough road conditions to put a rock through one.

I have the same issues, rocks going through em... its not so much bad roads as it is the ambient tempatures! At -40deg F that plastic liner is like glass....very brittle! Got a new set sitting in the shop at home, next days off I'll be busy installing em ... but I gonna glue some kind of rubber matting on them. Hopefully the matting will cushion the blows from the rocks.

WOW -40 deg F? Yeah, I can imagine that rear well liners aren't the only things that would take a beating at the temperature. I though 5 degrees with a 20 mph north wind was cold.

Maybe just fab something up, use a cardboard template, then make some for the front/rear of the rear fenderwell opening out of metal, then use bedliner like the others mentioned...

Yeah, I think the bed liner might be a good solution, or a rubber layer over them. I suppose now that I think about it, they only break when it is cold out. i wish they made them the same quality as the fronts, they hold up really well.
