Aero modding a 4x4

Vehicle; 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 2.7 4cyl 5 spd
Driving environment; Calgary, Alberta 50% city 50% highway ( prairies and mountains) snow is finally melting ( but it will snow here almost every month of the year, that does include june and july even if it doesn't stick)

Goals

1. semi stock appearance or at least live able, sorry guys not a big fan of moonies
2. remain off-road capable, (it is a truck and I do tread lightly when I am off-road) so keeping the ground clearance.

Plans
1. partial grill block
2. bed cover is already on
3. partial belly pan - both mesh and puck board, probably the dirtiest area of the truck next to the bed.

with hypermilling I'm ~10% above epa, dependant on traffic most mods are on the drivers side, alot of pulse and glide (decent sized hills around here) tires at 42psi, and no a/c

will post results sometime this weekend
