There's only so much you can do at the front; but behind the front and in front of the rear wheel (and maybe at the back) take a piece of belting maybe 3 to 3.5ft long and clamp 'square' corners in the middle and cut the necessary taper on the tails. Then lap or fold the ends and rivet them about half-way to the wheel end, leaving a triangle hole to drain mud and ice-melt. Three points of attachment minimum, two at the wheel and one at the end.

That's sort of your and my ideas mashed together.
