    Got a minor dilemma ya'll. Science fair is coming around pretty soon and the date that we were supposed to give our teacher our topic that we had chosen to experiment on was today. So i was out mud riding all weekend and obviously didnt get this done. I want to do something involving my truck in some way. But I dont have any good ideas. I was kinda thinking of doing like the aerodynamics of the tacoma with the tailgate down vs tailgate up and the effect of that on mpg, but i really didn't know how to test that. Any ideas would be appreciated. thanks fellas.
