Drove mine back from SC today. 956.2 miles round trip, averaged 10.2 MPG pulling a 7X14 enclosed trailer. Air suspension in "Aero" mode going down, "Normal" mode on the way home.

Just curious but why didn’t you use aero mode on the way back?

Sweet! What fender flare brand is that? Also, you should seriously consider a protective film between the rubber and your paint.

I bought the Spyder tails from real truck. they threw "bulb out" on me within 30 seconds of the turn signal activated; on both sides. I am playing with alfaobd to see if I can get rid of it. I had factory LED tails, so this was supposed to be a plug and play application.

No problem and if u have questions the company is super nice i called them and they gave me the measurments of the flares over the phone.

Stick out 2.5" in front and 2" in rear
Which is what i was looking for i did not want bushwacker style sticking out 3.5" too much for me

I just wanted to see what if any difference it would make, Normal over Aero. Doing hand calculations the difference was less than 1 MPG, but I was loaded going south, Aero, empty driving north Normal.

You’d really have to match driving style to driving style to see if that aero mode even works, to get accurate results.

That’s what I would consider also. I like the style but don’t need all that coverage. It’s nice they have an option between factory and deep pocket flares

Got bored and decided to stop procrastinating and get this fog light retrofit started.

I'll be watching closely. I've been debating on when and what to start with whether it's headlights or fogs. Good luck and keep us posted!

Start with fogs much easier... headlights can be a pain in the d*ck and time consuming. Especially if your doing projector style headlights vs quads.
