Hard to see in the photos maybe should have painted them white
That's a great idea!!! When I got my new TV in August, I kept the rubber bed mat from my old TV, thinking that the heavy duty 3/8" rubber mat would come in handy for some kind of project(s) in future. Well I now have my first project that I'll be using that mat for once the weather breaks!!!

My only concern is that when driving the mudflaps might be flapping against the leveling jacks?!?! Need to keep them far enough behind the tires so they don't get "sucked up" into the tire, but forward enough of jacks. Will have to check spacing tomorrow.

Thank you IRV2!
