Roger that, I tend to use it more as a commuter

I read about how much people blocked off, and thought I could get away with both top and bottom blocks on my van, and get all the air from the smaller center holes. Once I started to climb mountains it became clear that I needed more air, and I removed the lower block. No more problems for now, but it is winter. I doubt that you'll have the same problem in Houston. You don't have the hills, you do have more air, but you also have more heat.

Agreed. I will be concerned in the summer, but with the Scangauge I'm waiting to get, I can keep an eye on it.

You have the gauges you need, so that's good, but I would suggest starting with something easy and temporary, so you don't make something nicer that you end up having to throw away. Cardboard looks tacky, but it's generally free and easy to work with.

Yes. Temp to prove that point is good. except cardboard and rain don't mix very well...

Think about something modular, so when you do have to carry a heavy load, you can remove a section or two, easily.

Yes, I still want the truck usable, if need be. The Box cover/aerocap will be down the road a bit...
