Comprehensive list of aerodynamic pickup caps/aeroshells on EcoModder (& elsewhere)
 

http://ecomodder.com/forum/attachmen...1&d=1351179366

JacobAziza has just posted a really good blog post giving an overview of the benefits of pickup truck bed streamlining, and documenting the projects of numerous EcoModder members:

EcoModder Blog post: Aerocaps for pick-up trucks

He ends saying he may have missed some members' projects, which got me wondering if we could keep a master list. (I could use this list to update the blog post as well. That post is destined to get lots of readers.)

If you've got an aero cap project in the forum here, maybe you could link to this thread (or to the blog post) from post#1 in your thread, so readers could find these other projects.

Here they are:

Excellent addition, thank you!

Thanks, Chaz. Added your 2, plus 3 others.

EDIT: also added a fancy picture to post #1.

Keep 'em coming if you find others.

Actually...my T-100 is a 1998. ;)

Fixed!

Part of my brain knew they weren't still selling them in 2010 as I entered that, but I saw "2010" in your fuel log link and entered that by mistake anyway.

My rubber apparition was shaped a lot like bajascoob's light weight.

It gained me 1.5 MPG over a flat tonneau and 3.0 MPG over an open bed.

Dave - is there a post or thread we can link to that may have a close-up photo / description of that mod?

Here's a design that I modeled in SketchUp that could be made using foam ribs cut to form the shape (like t_vago):

This is sized for a mid-size pickup, but a larger or smaller one could be easily done, as well.

You put me in the photo montage (which is awesome btw), but you didn't mention me in the list.
There isn't really a good forum post on it, the most concise and comprehensive of it is in the blog post itself

Thanks for including mine, i really should take it off and do some ABA testing some time to get actual results as when i put it on i had other issues and did other mods in between...

i do know that im getting an extra 7-10kmh at the end of my 1km long test hill though
