    Seriously. All of the "shakiness" of the back end is gone it seems. It also feels like there's a bit of a "spoiler effect" going on like the backend is pressed down harder.

    I also noticed a 1-2mpg fuel mileage hit as my initial testing has found. I'm still running samples on that though.

    Other thing to note is I have my tire bolted to the bed so it's not an empty bed.

    How many miles do you drive in a day? Unless its a fuckton I doubt your mpg analysis is very accurate.

    60mi just to get to/from work and that's with zero extra driving. I did my first distance testing to/from Glendale yesterday morning. Today was round two. I've got 120mi already showing ~1.5-2mpg loss over what it was showing with the tailgate on. I agree the sample size is too small, that's why I said "initial testing." I'm still trying to understand why it would be worse with no tailgate rather than better considering I have the tire in the bed already.

    Ha, I didn't see the word 'hit' and thought it was an increase. Definitely seems somewhat counterintuitive.

    I had assumed that the tire in the bed was messing up the usual pocket of air an empty bed would have. Mythbusters already proved having the tailgate up makes more sense, but, I don't remember them testing with a 33" tire strapped to the bed!:D

    Did the intermittent wiper mod. Total time, 30 minutes and most of that was getting the steering wheel cover off, tricky b*tch.

    Figured just an after shot was necessary as there are plenty of write-ups of this.
