Installed a hinged, homemade toneau cover over the rest of my box. Made of chloroplast with an aluminum frame. Also installed a "pool noodle" slit in the middle and ziptied to my bumper to prevent so much air from entering the engine compartment. Will post some pictures when its not snowing. I think the open box was creating alot of drag, and I'm glad I was able to build something really light and really cheap to combat that.
Made some massive improvements to gas milage already. Drove 367 miles on only 10.6 gallons of gas (34.6 mpg). This is the best tank I have gotten in quite a long time. Tomorrow I'll be putting close to 300 miles on it, so I will see how the improvments continue to help me post big numbers.
If I can find some clear plastic I think I'll play with blocking off the grille next week.
