Dirt Curtains installed
Well, finally had some time off to get these fabbed/installed. Making them was easy- had a friend do it
Assembling & Installing- kind of a pain. I wanted a clean look so opted to mount them directly to my hitch. It’s 1/4” plate, so I decided to tap the holes I drilled. After measuring and aligning multiple times, I found the best spot. Securing them to mark the holes was fun (not). First hole drilled/tapped- looking good! Second hole, doing well- SNAP! Broke the tap (D@MN!). Oh, well, adapt and overcome. Whew- one side on. Moving onto the other side; same as the previous; one hole perfect, and broke yet another tap! Double D@MN! Finished both sides with hitch pins- yes, these are removable.
Install complete, a few cold ones to ease my troubles and wall-ah- dirt curtains
If I had to do it again, I’d probably weld the flanged section to the hitch rather than tapping.

I did inquire initially as I thought they were bought. I left a note for the owner whom replied and was nice enough to make me some- talk about a nice guy... I paid him for his services and bought the flaps at NAPA and mounted them. I like the look and it will keep rocks off my TT.

Since I don't really have the resources to make my own, I went ahead and ordered a set of Rock Tamers from eTrailer.
Saw a bumper pull the other day that had a hole punched in the front from a hunk of metal thrown up by a rear tire. Hope these are substantial enough to stop that kind of projectile.
