Thank you, Daryl. And YES, I actually did (and should have mentioned that). I purchased 1/8" black foam rubber from a local arts & crafts store (1'x2' sheets). Then I carefully cut them to fit only the inner wheelwell surfaces that have the exterior as the opposite face. It took about 6-7 individual panels per wheel well to accomplish this, and I trimmed them within 1/2" of the outer wheel lip. After masking off everything, I used spray contact adhesive and essentially put the puzzle together. After it set, I then used black rubberized truck bed liner and laid down 2 good coats over the foam rubber, carefully spraying just far enough over all the edges so that I don't get any peel-up later on. They turned out looking pro and best of all I don't hear any pebbles or debris hitting the underside.

I will need to repeat the process when I get the front MTs, and those front wheelwells have more curvature to them (i.e. will be more of a PITA to do, but worth it).
