For Those Who Have Removed Your Front Air Dam......

Now lift it and get rid of that ugly bug deflector...

 

No lift, it's a 4x2 so it's only going places that the auto LSD will let me get in and out of. No larger tires for extra ground clearance needed, but when the OEM tires go I'll put something on it a bit better for those unpaved trails. And I like my bug shield

 

I took mine off my SR5 back in the spring looks better and was necessary to install the Faux TRD skid plate I had hanging around to be installed for months that is finally installed.

 

I like to THINK this is what women do...but then I wake up and I'm not 20 anymore...lol

My wife don't know about that...how long before she realizes "The Tacoma Affect?" Hmmmmm???

Amazon showed up with the demon brackets and D ring hooks, so back outside I went Now I just have to wait for the TRD skid plate to show up from Bam Wholesale.

 

I took mine off for a short period of time. Huge drop in the amount of people that were sexually attracted to me. Put it back on and now I’m back in the game.

 

This guy pulled up next to me and I told him that stupid plastic air dam could be bent by my kid and he should throw it in the trash.

 

I'm married and she thinks I was crazy for buying a truck in the first place, so I can go whichever way I want with the air dam. Of course, I will get a ration of shit when the TRD skid plate shows up at our door....

 

You sir have the best TW username.

 

Damm son. Are you actually butthurt that some people are taking the cheesy air dam off their trucks? Enquiring minds want to know.

 

Took it off on other Taco just because thought it’d look better. Haven’t noticed drop in MPG or handling and am usually commuting 2 hours each way on highway.

 

I don’t mind either way. I just like participating in these threads.

 

This is why you have things shipped to a friend's home or to work.

 

This.

That being said, I noticed (keyword: Noticed) no difference in MPG or stability after removing mine from my 2020 4CYL or my 2019 6CYL.
Removing the tailgate however, that felt unstable in the rear end.

 

This all day! And if the wife notices it you tell her you had that for a while now lol

 

Total BS, I took mine off as I believe the Tacoma looks much better without it. Definitely no difference in handling/stability regardless of conditions. May have had a small drop in MPG but not to point that I have noticed.

 

After reading this thread I have decided to start carrying around my impact driver and socket set.

Every Taco I see with an air dam that is parked in a large public lot will have its dam removed before the owner gets back.

 

dang

I must have flunked out on the "how it looks" class.

Those tie down hooks and loops are damn ugly in my view. Put the plastic back!


;-)

 

I took it off the first time I changed my own oil. I had to get the skid plate off and in my eyes at the moment it seemed the dam was in the way. At the very least it made getting the skid plate off easier.

I kept it in the rafters of my shop in case I ever change my mind.
