now we are talking
isn't she a beautiful brick !!! I want to improve mpg and this is what I was thinking, I have fabricated a new bumper which consists of a alluminium tube rolled back, that will bolt onto the upper bolts of existing bumper. I started a pan last summer that will attach under the grill between the frame bent down and back directing air under the front suspension and engine pan. I am now thinking or some kind of front tire deflectors like shark teeth. A belly pan will be relatively easy, attaching to my lockers and lower step on both sides joined together with a central piece all made from light guage alluminium. I was thinking a panel about 5 to 8 inches on edge from inside the front wheel to outside the rear attached to the belly pan, something like transport trucks, the visor not sure it that will work planned on leaving a gap between roof and visor so air can escape, was thinking it would deflect some air??? and a small kamm back made in one piece that would come out, down roll down the sides as big as I can get, still being able to open the rear doors. I doubt I would be able to get more the 18 inches. I was wondering if I should be thinking dam instead of directing air under vehicle. I am limited as to how low as I use it as a stealth, back country camper and want it to be practical, I will likely be carrying my scooter on the back as well. Would love to hear what you think and if you have any suggestion or if I am going in the wrong directon. cheers FK
