Haha it is a bit creepy lol, one side will be covered with some reflective insulation material and the other in a black fabric when they're finished.

Could make a bracket that bolts onto the rear axle and holds a scraper behind the tire with about 1/8" gap to the tread surface. Angle it up some so it diverts mud outward. That would also mean shaping the edge to conform to the tire.

That was basically my thinking, as if the wheel was a lathe and the scraper was the tool you use to carve off the spinning material. I think an easier option would be to just pay more attention to where im driving in the future and try to avoid sticky clay...
After arriving at my partners house to repack for our camping trip I discovered that camping with 2 people requires a lot more gear than just one, I certainly need better rear suspension and a lift kit (my Rising Tuning kit still hasn't arrived). The rear carrier proved itself very handy for my highlift jack, spare tyre, jerry can and TRED recover boards (which helped a lot in the mud)
Another eventful journey took us from my partners house to the campsite, rough dirt roads, lots of rocks and the early sunset in the middle of winter made for some white knuckle moments, but Jim The Prius just kept on chugging and got us there safe and sound.
The solar panels worked well to keep the music running and devices charging all weekend, after the sun went down I used ready mode to warm my bed inside which was very luxurious. A quick plunge in the icy river followed by some gourmet food and great company was the icing on the cake.
Lots of new ideas and plans have arisen from the weekend, this was its first major adventure so it was great to see how all of my modifications have come together.
