Very interesting that you asked when you did. That's about the time I finished up working on TANK the fifth.

Hopefully the pictures will cooperate with me. This is first time putting pictures in post, so here goes.....





Not quite as large and low as Big Dave's, but its a trial in progress.

The quick ties cost less than $5.00 and the rubber belt material was a leftover piece from a round bailer at a farm implement place. After I explained my experiment to the parts guy, he said I could have it FOR FREE, so long as I kept him informed on results.

The belt is 11" wide and really smoothed out the front bumper. I forgot to take a before picture, but google images will give you a good reference to go by. The bumper has 2 tow hook openings and a big flat license plate area. No support behind belt, will probably add something later...any suggestions???????

And no, I haven't road tested it yet, and yes I will post any results I find.

edit...added pictures to album here through user control panel(very nice feature) and was able to insert in this reply finally....yeah
