Here is a prior thread of a NGT owner that switched out to Dunlap tires.

This is ridonkulous! A few days worth of sucked-up crap. Going to try running without screens for a while and see how the double wrap handles it.

Where does this stuff end up?

no rock collection with this method... I also made some that flow air better than the solid panel but the solid ABS solid panel is inexpesive and stops the direct flight of the rocks..

Great solution!
Are the push pins GT specific or a standard item used on other Fords? Think I'm going give it a shot fabricating a set.

Is duct tape an option? LOL.

Please choose duct tape over mud flaps if you have to.

My Delivery Specialist, Steve Coates, installed Duct Tape in the wheelwell openings before departing. I later added DBK screens to the other side and although I still get some debris between the two, its not bad enough to have to suck or blow out after every drive. I had almost 1,000 miles on the clock before putting it away for the Boston Winter and only cleaned out the "chamber" once. The beautiful CF door bottoms are double wrapped Xpel and are still pretty much mint. I do wipe them down with a water dampened diaper or microfiber towel as part of my quick put-away clean-up regimen after a drive.

The sound of all that stuff rattling around in the wheelwells is disconcerting, but it is the nature of the beast so, if it bugs you, just use earplugs or turn on the stereo. LOL

Being a Plasterer by trade on occasion I help people with patch work when they can't find anyone.
I think the GT is perfect for this.
The trunk is big enough for a hawk and trowel
and a bag of mud. And I don't have to worry about hauling sand, I can pick that up along the way.

My father-in-law is a stucco/plaster contractor. I consider myself very good in various trades, so he thought it would be funny to have me veneer plaster a ceiling. I greatly overestimated my skills.

You NFGT guys should have a contest for "Catch of the Month" and post pics your debris piles collected behind the screens. This "catch" is pretty impressive, but I'm not surprised. I was on that drive too. What a mess we were driving in!

Is that just grass/weeds? Or bugs? Wow.
