Yeah, that thing rocks, I like especially how it is beneath the grill and doesn't screw with the nice lines of the truck by convering the grill from the outside.. We need to know the source!!

You could even have it customized.

ORIGINAL: HankL

In the BBQ Grille section
Lowes Home Supply stores are selling
a special plastic mat to put on the floor near the grille
that is heat resistant and fire proof.

When I saw those the other day I thought:

"That is fairly cheap and I might be able to make radiator blocks and aero underpans out of that fairly lightweight material."
How much were they? I'm looking for something to cover the underside of the truck... a belly pan of sorts to go between the frame and the bottom of the cab/bed. I'm planning on testing mileage with it as well...

This is a Mopar Factory cover that was posted. Tommy, see Mark at Lithia here and he can get you one. I saw one yesterday and he told me the price but I forgot exactly how much he said, but itwas around $120 some dollars. Probably could get it for a little less expensive though. I am debating on getting it, but probably will. I seemed like the optional opening was big enough for when the weather warms up a bit next week that it wouldn't cause any problems.
