Dodge Sprinter Wheel Wells

TravisTrucks · Feb 10, 2009

The company I work for uses a dodge sprinter to bring equipment to and from close by shows, but due to poor strapping abilities and less than perfect driving some of our road cases have smashed around in the back of the sprinter pretty bad. Now it is to the point where the wheel wells are very noticeably smashed in, there not to the point where they are touching the wheels themselves its just very unpleasant for my boss and our clients to look at. does anyone have any thoughts on someway I could cover these eye sores? I am really hoping there was some kind of accessory i could buy but I am having no luck finding such a thing.

you could cover them with some nice material and attach it with velcro tabs....
My wife just made some quilted covers for my wells to act as insolation with velcro tabs they are removable so they don't get ripped when a skid slides by....

The joys of road cases, I moved those things for 15 years.

You could treat them just like the outside. Fill them with body putty, sand and paint. Not that hard if your not looking for perfection.

hmm i was really hoping to find something like Rubber Wheel Well Covers at Truck Parts Pro Shop
or something that would help keep the wheel wells in a little better shape for the next time one of our rookies decides hes better than the load straps

Sounds to me like what you need is some e-track and cargo straps to secure the freight and once thats done if you still have a problem might want to try some new drivers.

Whats it pay, I may be interested !!! I have an 04' chevy express and there are still times when I'm at the customer they ask if it is new.

Freight is supposed to be secured? LOL
