New minimalist rear bumper idea (1 Viewer)

[saucebox]

I tend to see about 12.5 at 85 and something approaching 14 at 65-70. At about 50 I am usually in the mid to upper 14s for MPG. I am regeared with a lot of additional weight and some pretty bad aero additions. Most of the MPGs seem to depend more on speed. If local highway speeds are 60, then the MPGs look good. Down in TX with the 80 MPH speed limits, not so much.

Very true. I rarely drive 80 or above, even when most of our limits here are set at 80. Years and years of being passed in my FJ60s prepared me to drive the 100 like an old man

Another option is something like this…got everything to build that except a dang tube bender

I know man, I’m going to work on something like this for the 100 series. Retains stockish appearance but gives so much strength and keeping it incredibly lightweight
