partial wheel arch skirts

BZP, I didn't realize you were working on this until today. It seems you and I are thinking along the same lines...but I used black corrugated plastic.

First picture is a 3/4 front view, but the fairings in front of the tires are hard to see (sorry, it's snowed twice this week--truck is filthy). 2nd picture is a close up of the front tire fairing. (Looks like I need to clean a plastic bag off the bottom or something...) 3rd picture is close up of the rear tire fairing. Need another fastener to the side skirt, it seems. 4th picture is the brackets I fabbed for the rear tire fairing. In the rear I used factory screw holes that hold on some MOPAR wheel well tubs to mount the brackets.

Front fairing does need some TLC, as it's a combo of a former piece and a new one. Both help but I jammed them in place as I was in a pinch for time before a 7 hour road trip. The tape is left from using RTV to glue a bottom plate to the triangular fairings. RTV holds pretty good...just another project to finish up!
