Talking My T-100 aero cap...

Over at ToyotaNation...I documented my build of my T-100 aero cap.

Here's some different looks of the hatch configurations...

Closed up with a proposed boat tail length...


Standard cap height...offers a great view when backing up!


Rear view...


Wide open...

Keep in mind that I designed this strictly fer aerodynamic testing...not fer security. The hatch is easily removed fer tall items just by removing 2 screws. My other goal is to be able to easily disassemble the entire cap just using one person.

I have to pins to keep the hatch from opening on it's own when I'm driving down the road. It also keeps people from opening the hatch but they can always open the tail gate since it's not lockable.

Estimated costs is probably around $40 since the coroplast was free and I'm reusing most of the wood/hardware from my first belly pan project. Estimated weight is around 40-50lbs? Not exactly sure though...
