Removed my Air Dam today, after much deliberation!

Can I have your air dam? Seriously, 120 miles daily eats so much gas and money. That air dam is like 20$ a month saved!

 

Here is a how to if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_J45mYNIC8

 

It's nice, I would like it with out the bar over the grill though.

 

I have a hard time believing the air dam saves any significant amount of fuel.

 

No problem at all.

 

I should have stated in an off road situation. If ya got stuck it could get in the way of recovery or if it does get hung up it damage the part of the front bumper.

I should have left mine on and then had it torn off while off roading. I could justify to my wife I need a new Slimline bumper!

 

Yeah. I can see off road being an issue.

 

Toyotas don't get stuck.

 

Maybe the real question is why you have a hard time believing that it would?

 

Never looked back myself;

 

I removed mine long time ago and get better than advertised mpgs. Im on e rated AT tires too. Ill never put that thing back on.

Do it man, looks soo much better.

 

I’m sure Toyota engineers didn’t put it on for looks. The bean counters would object to the unnecessary cost. I’m sure it has a positive effect on mileage as it directs airflow to the sides of the truck instead of underneath. At least that’s the way I see it.

 

I agree, it helps to manage air-flow, however doubt it adds more than a mile per gallon, if even that. From a manufacturer's perspective, saving a 1/2 mpg on thousands of vehicles is a big deal.
However to a vehicle owner it's a pretty insignificant saving in the grand scheme of things.

 

Agreed.

 

I took the air dam off about 2 hours after buying my truck. Looks much better!

 

And 5 pages going strong

 

Greta is inspiring...inspiring me to get a Tundra...

 

I swear I get a little better gas mileage too. It might be that I switched to shell from Exxon and added the pro skid plate. I have done all my normal routes, nothing different and getting about 1 1/2 mpg better.
