    All walls connected with rivets and glue. Aluminum angles everywhere to cover corners. The part above the wheel will be cut later.

    Nice! I'm heading down there next week.

    I'm pretty curious about the next level!

    How is the wind deflector on the roof working for you?

    It's hard to say how good it is. I still have side parts that should be covered for better airflow. But for now, I have an honest 17 mpg on the flat highway fully loaded according to the computer. Empty Tacoma with open bed did 19 mpg.
