RB20 installed

[robe2388]

Hey Gents, the RB20s went on the Rebel yesterday, took me less than an hour, i like them. Funny thing is I first installed them backwards, since they are a tad wider in the front than the rear I thought the it would make sense putting the wider end towards the front but I was wrong. Was I? Lol I'm thinking of flipping them backwards again what ya'll think? Y'all that have the RB20s don't think the wider towards the front look a bit weird? Send your opinions!

Edit: First picture with the little logo in the front is backwards, second pic is the right way.

One whole inch lol I’m switching them I like the wide end in the front.

I looked at mine the wider end is at the front.
Maybe keep more crap off side of truck.

I flipped them and added 2” spacers, the truck looks ‘right’ now.

Just installed mine this evening. I installed wide toward the back. Maybe I am slow on uptake, but which way does go rhino suggest they are to be installed?

Manual says wide towards front, but I don’t like it. Have had mine flipped for 10k miles and still like them.

I have mine with the GoRhino decal at the back. Don't know if that's the wide part or not.

Mine have the Go Rhino on the back, that’s the way they are installed by Go Rhino.

That’s the way they are supposed to be, BUT WE ARE REBELS!

Thanks for the info. Switched mine. Wide to the front , decal on back looks right IMO .

i can confirm that the mounts bend nicely and that a replacement set can be special ordered direct for ~$55 + shipping

I black the chrome decal of course, it looked a bit odd in the front. lol

I'm definitely looking forward to picking up a set of these. Whats everyone's take on the textured black powder coat vs. the bedliner? I've done a touch of research and the consensus so far is that the textured black is holding up a little better than the bedliner. There are several instances where folks are showing pictures of the bedliner material peeling after a year or two and some instances where it occurs in 6 months. Anyone have any experience good or bad?

I have the textured black on mine and it went through the winter here in Canada and they still look like new, had them on for about 8 months.

Textured black as well, although I have not has them that long the finish looks very durable.

I'm thinking of reversing them on my truck also. I think they would look better backwards
