^^^ thanks!
New idea: indentation of the fender right behind the front wheel, and air curtains (not to be confused with skirts!) for the front wheels! The indentation is easy; the air skirts will have to be fabricated along with a new front bumper (maybe one day far into the future). Ecomodding is an amazon thing. So many activities! So many enhancements to be made! Can you tell I'm excited!

I feel like a BIG improvement that can be made with my jeep, with the huge openings for the tires, is at the front wheels. BMW agrees, they say on their official blog that 30% of the drag is at the wheels.

Also, notice the articulation of both front and rear wheels, I need every inch of the wheel well when offroading:
Lastly, here's a nice visualization of my jeep's aero:
Note the blue pressure zone under the rudder.
