Yeah! Own Thread...I have not seen this till now.

BW, I have to say Good for you for actually making what you have. If you want to make a difference that matters you need to have the shape of your top match the Template Curve.



Vortex Generators are not worth your effort to try and use. Make your cap match the red line. Yes that means having it be 6 inches taller at the Tailgate. Just get rid of any 45° connectors and let the pipe form its own curve. It will be a thing of beauty. (To those of us here in Ecomodder anyway)

The first rendition of your aerocap was an improvement over nothing, but following this template guide will optimize what you can achieve. The Tundra actually has a great start on the aero by having the cab match the template.

Again, Great that you got out and made something, this puts you ahead of 99.99% of the people out there!! I'm sure I speak for most when I say we're proud of what you've done.
