Didnt use the provided black hose bought some yellow ones


Combined ~1.5 lbs added to the passenger front

Side skirts underplates

Made smooth panels to cover all that turbulent area between the TRD side skirts and JDM panels. Basically the whole pinch weld area except kept space to fit jack stands.

This panel was cut in half to make Two 4'x1' pieces. 5.3lbs These were used in the middle.


Then Two smaller Pieces to finish the rear and connect to the JDM gas covers and almost meet the Verus suspension covers. 1.9lbs


then used .04" Aluminum to make the front. This is a little thicker and sturdier than the .02" I was using but still bendable. I designed this to block off as much air entranceways on the rear of the front fenderwell. The only hole is for the jack stands. .9lbs



Attached all good with alum rivnets added about 8.5lbs total if you include screws.




new weight 2445.5 LBS
Journey to complete bottom smoothness almost complete hoping I don't go over 2450lbs

Final Smooth Underbody

Finished my smooth underbody today.
-Made a cover for the transmission area to replace the fiberglass one
-a plate the covers most of the area for the rear diff. Left a square opening since I use it as a jacking point frequently.

Prototype transmission plate thin aluminum attacthed to stock fiberglass removed 3lbs


mY new plate with 1.5mm or .062" aluminum with intake vents (got a little crazy banging out the vents) Adds 6lbs




INstalled fully smooth underbody after the front skid plate!!



Rear DIff Cover
This covers the rear diff and connects all the Verus pieces and my alumalite center plate all together
This has a square cut to fit my jack on the diff +2lbs




Installed


And that wraps up the smooth underbody!
