Hello everyone!

Never knew this place existed till I started talking to the one and only BamZipPow on TacomaWorld. Well his build sparked my attention as I need my truck being a wildlife guy but wanted to get the most mpgs I could. I already drive like an ecomodder (other sites I would use granny) and drive 70 on a 250 mile trip I do twice a month (heard I should go down to 65).

I have a 3 inch lift (I know...) but need it when going off road.

My goal of this is to be able to do some mods that will get me the best of both worlds... better mpg but being able to go offroad.

List of what I want to do to squeeze a little bit of mpg out

Belly pan
partial grill block
Removable Kammback / the things semis have on the back
Wheel spats

Here is what I have

I just recently did a front end conversion so that is why it's unfinished

Here is the back

And side

I do have a motorcycle (2005 ninja 500) that is my daily driver so that is how I save gas from using my truck.

Hope to learn a lot and meet a lot!
