HI from MI-Offroad Bronco/MPG project.

Hi all. I'm looking forward to some ideas to really squeeze out the most MPG I can from a Full size Ford Bronco, while still maintaining offroad capabilities.

Obviously I will need to make major compromises to MPG, but still want to optimize it's ability to sip fuel. The difference between 10mpg and 20mpg can make a big difference in how much it actually get's used. This is also the vehicle I will tow our travel trailer with.

First things....MPGuino, vac gauge. Then a new exhaust Y-pipe, and a tune up/timing advance.

Things I'm thinking about. Full belly pan that doubles as a skid plate for offroading, extended front air dam that is easily removable, and a partial grill block.
I also want to fab a new hood. Similar to the domestic muscle car cowl induction hoods but covers the entire hood...My thinking is that less windshield will be pushing air this way.
