All of this discussion of rears brings to mind a song...Freddie Mercury's "Fat Bottomed Girls..." I don't agree with his orientation, but I do appreciate the song...and it is so appropo to ring and pinion research...I can hear it playing in the Toyota Truck Proving Grounds trailer...

Splitter update: Pics are kinda crappy but you get the point.

I have it held on with four of these stainless clamps, so taking it on and off is quick.

Welded bungs on the bumper support for the splitter rods.

Wow that splitter looks like it would be great at mowing down pedestrians.

Is it made from SS?

The piece you see is just the bottom its 1/8 alum. I have a peice of 3/8 plastic that goes on top. Its not done yet ...........

Ok cool. I like that it can be easily detached, good design.

That was a key design consideration from the outset... I will transition to a trailer this year if all goes as planned, but until then it is convenient to be able to pull off the splitter... I also have one track that I frequent (Firebird) that is barely over a mile with lots of technical turns and plenty of places to go off... I plan to run there with no aero, so it'll be helpful to be able to pull the splitter quickly

Another update... the Aeromotions R2 static wing showed up today and the construction is superb - both wing and mounts... Thanks again to Forged Performance for making this happen... Junior, I'll be bringing this to you tomorrow when I come over to work on brakes, etc
