I have searched numerous websites looking for a wheel well liner. It looks as though there is a piece missing. I have noticed this on pics of other Bighorn models. Any idea where I could find this piece?

If you paid to buy them, and they forgot to install part of it, ask the dealer to fix it for free.

The upper part is optional on most of our trucks, $195... Parts are roughly the same from the dealer if it concerns you that much. Living in the snow belt, I found it necessary to add to my truck

Check that build sheet to confirm I know its something close to a $200 add on. Its not factory.

Bought with 5000 miles on it.
It bothers me now because once I noticed it wasn't there that's all I can focus on now. I might just paint it with Herculiner.

There is no "upper" part missing on your truck. that is a part of the base configuration unless your truck optioned for the $195 FULL WHEELHOUSE LINERS. A totally stupid move by FCA to make them like that, but it a gain on their side for "accessories/add-ons".
The replacement part comes in the FULL wheelliner, and is $195 for the set.
You have to remove the ones that are there, and replace them with the full liner. this is a video about how to replace them. I had the part #'s but can't locate them. There is a different part number for the left and right.

As the others have said, it's an option. The original buyer of this truck didn't opt for the rear wheelhouse liners, so it only has the smaller front and rear pieces. The full wheelhouse liners are one piece, so you'd need to remove the pieces you have in order to install them. Seems like a silly thing to make an option, and should have been standard.

Edit: looks like Greg beat me to it LOL

If it bothers you spray it with some undercoating material until you pickup the full liners. Unfortunately the contrast on white trucks really makes it stick out.

If you go with the full liners as a set, when you remove the ones in place, remember you have to seperate the back one and keep it during reinstallation because it has the clips. I think you will need two additional screws as well.
There are TWO video's on youtube that will take you step by step.

That is what I did on a previous truck. I just got some of that Rustoleum undercoating.
I scratched the paint on the wheelwell before it sprayed so it would stick better.

Krylon Flat-Black...and you're done! lol
Not sure Krylon will hold up well over the long term. If you ever drive on gravel you might want to use something a little more durable like bed liner. Any spray coating can make a mess so you'll want to do a good job of masking off anything you don't want to possibly get over spray on.

I just bought mine Friday and it did not have the liners. I made the dealer install them as part of the negotiation. They cost around $90 and take about an hour to put in. Salesman tried to tell me labor was $800 lol. I believe someone on this forum made a video on YouTube showing how to install, pretty easy job really (and thanks for that!). With that said, full liners should come stock on trucks period imo. Fluid film will be next, used that on my Wrangler and after 17,000 miles when sold, undercarriage was absolutely perfect (I am in the south though).

They're like $90 each if you were to buy one. The window sticker said $195 for the set.

I posted the YOUTUBE video link above. There are two of them that I seen.

Did you put the Duratrac's on yourself?

Oddly enough, those liners look like the ones on the Classic models.
