    Took mine off, the howling at 30-40 mph really picked up but the control arm TSB took care of that.

    I would have removed mine prior to delivery if I didn't buy an offroad.

    Have not taken mine off "yet"... I did drop the skid plate to look around and that damn dam was in the way of removing the front 2 bolts...
    Next oil change will determine it's future...

    I removed mine, but after a noticable mpg drop of 1-2 mpg, I shortened it by 5inches, and reinstalled it. Seem to be a nice compromise.

    Ugly. Reduces approach angle.

    Yeah, you really need that approach angle when you go to Target or take little Timmy to t-ball practice!

    For the street / dirt 'trail' / trailer towing road crowd, it would seem to be a MPG bonus. Engineered aerodynamics.

    For the off road crowd, I'm sure it will be in the way, regardless of any on road benefit.

    Looks like you have an OR. Or's don't come with air dams anyway.
