The goal is a 400mi tank on a stock Trailhunter. Got a Go Fast Camper + a Martin Off Road Roof Rack w/ a big ass spoiler. Currently getting 18.5mpg @ 7,300 mi. Nix the OE sport bar and the rear recovery points (swapping for SixthElement aluminum), added constant is ~350lbs with the kit.
Notes: Minimal cutting on the chin spoiler itself, had to get some aluminum angle brackets and utilize a few OE mount locations. The most time spent on this was shaping additive spoiler near the high mount cutout bumper. Did that with a type of urethane foam (DivinyCell), carbon fiber & resin, bonded them to most outer edges of the dam wings, EVA 1/16” stand-off cushion against the bumper). With the airdam clearance is 11” H w/stock Goodyear Wranglers. The mounting points do not interfere with skid plate mounts at all. All said & done 6 bolts, disconnects in ~5min when I want to get more into crawling on trail.
Just finished it yesterday and will drive it ~1k and then look at the numbers. Expecting ~20mpg+ highway at minimum driving speed limit adaptive cruise etc. If it underwhelms I spent $15 for the airdam on Fb market place & an afternoon modifying with random extra materials in my garage.
for the gerrys who want to shoot shit down & correct & be a doosh & say it looks weird & whatever else causes you chaffing & harm in life: no one cares betches
I personally think it has gen 4 XRunner vibes and that might be the coolest taco yet, albeit a concept. To each his own
