Well...the extended diffuser is just fer testing at the moment. I have to git ideas and data from somewhere. I'm trying to find out if it will keep the road muck off the rear window. I will probably only extend it when I need to go on long wet trips...if this pans out.
Again...most of this is just to git data on how well it works with my truck...as different mods will give you different results on different trucks. As it proves out...I'll paint/finish the mods as I go along. I've only really been doing this fer about a year now.
Start a fuel log on yer truck and document the mods you do. Don't settle on a permanent solution until yer really satisfied with the results. Hate to see you dump money into something that doesn't pay back or make it even worse.
The key is planning and drawing it out before you start putting materials and things together. Post up about yer ideas and git them brain cells working. I've gone through many various versions in my head/paper before I started on fabrication. Some were down right expensive until I found a more cost effective/cheaper method...
The one thing that really worked out was the cross-beams that separated the bottom of the truck into 3 sections. Cost fer that originally was gonna be in the 100's. Current version...$15.
