Well I am trying to do this on the cheap to be honest. I can get a roll top soft tonneau for a few hundred bucks, and if I am patient I can probably find a topper/shell/cap on Craigslist for about the same. So that is the direction I am leaning since I have too many projects in the hopper already! LOL

I know I need to do what I can to every MPG I can on the long road trips so I definitely want to get this issue addressed along with a simple air dam and grill block setup. I have a goal I would like to see 30 mpg out of this truck on the highway at 65 mph. I was able to get a 27 mpg tank on my way home with the truck at 65 mph with the cruise on so I think I can stretch this out to 30 mpg at those speeds if I make a few changes. So that is the objective. If I can get more than that it would be awesome, but just trying to keep it realistic in my near term goals.
