I'd go with the brake pedal/master cylinder rod option.
I hate aftermarket bumper covers. Can't get it lined perfect.... I'm glad I decided to put it back together before paint, because it needs some "adjusting".
I'd love to get the driveway crown above the sides, but that would probably take between 50 and 80 truckloads of material. It's a foot off in sime places. When they cut this in, it simply wasn't done right.
I wasn't suggesting that, not at all.
What I posted earlier is the "cheapest" solution to unfubar the situation.
You're going to have to push some dirt around ....can't avoid that.
I have a very similar gravel driveway in length and grade. Even with well packed down road base, there will always be issues when the heavy rains come, with the fines washing away.
I haul gravel for a living, so am somewhat familiar with this. It's not an easy thing to control. Even if you crown the driveway, driving on it will introduce ruts fairly quickly in the wet spring season coming out of thaw, which the water will flow down anyhow. You could toss down some 3" minus which is usually good for drainage and packs down well, but you'll then be driving on what will eventually become a rough jagged logging road.
Probably the best budget alternative that I've delivered is asphalt millings to help with this. If you can find it for cheap, spread as much as you can over your base, and pack it down.
Asphalt millings are great if you can get that for free. Road crews view it as an expense to dispose of, and if you'll take it for the cost of trucking, that can sometimes happen...
