Counter-intuitively, a "half tonneau" would be even better, though arguably more difficult to make, plus utility goes down. Search the site for that if you're interested.
Thanks for the feed back Metro, I know full<half<aeroshell<redesign in the drag reduction department. I've done my research like a good lurker haha. But covering just half the bed didn't seem like a good idea to me I figured I'd do the whole thing. But I can add two more brackets an unscrew some screws and easily take off the front half to make a half tonneau. I may try that next tank. right now I'm at that stage when I wonder if the mod worked (no scangage or other instant feed back) But I did notice that driving with dew on the cover when I got to 30-35 the beads of dew were pushed back and out from the air pressure and it was on the back half of the cover.
