I think thats a pretty neat idea. Attention to detail.I think it gives a cleaner appearance especially for the lifted guys where you get a eye full of frame.
Bye them dude and give us feedback.

I have them on my rig. I will take some pictures while I am taking pictures of my new rim/tire combo later today. They don't fit as well as I thought but they clean up the rear a little.

These have been on ebay before...

They are freebies from CAPLUGS. In fact, if you search hard enough, you'll find them mentioned here on f150online.com within this forum -- probably about a year ago.

Get the body lift molding, its a vinyl looking black mat or section of material that covers that entire area up. Spray it with 3M rubberized coating and you're done.

I'd be afraid

of moisture getting in there, and not being able to dry out. Don't think I'd put them on my truck.

No moisture gonna be trapped when there are 2-3 smaller holes on the underside of the square tube! Actually would be a great place to hide a set of extra keys in a baggie. OOPS! Here are pics of mine. For $12.99 its a way cheap Mod. Sorry don't have a pic of the round plugs.

So how do the plugs keep the dirt out if there are holes in the tube? Now it's definitely a waste of money in my book.

I didn't buy them to keep water out, I bought them to cover a gaping hole.
