Took my air dam/chin strap off today.

Took it off today and man, what a difference! I'm all about function over fashion but this is the exception. My truck looks like it sits much higher. It just looks so much better and I don't get on the highway much so it shouldn't affect my mpg much. My son said, "It looks more like mine now." (He has my old 04 TRD ).

 

Nice work, these trucks look so much better with that decorative spoiler removed.

 

I agree, the air dam looks terrible in my opinion.

I do a lot of highway driving and I didn’t notice any change in MPGs after I removed mine.

 

Now you can add TRD skid plate!

 

I do like it better without, but I think I'll let the trail tear it off.

 

When it's time for some new tires, you can always get a little more aggressive, even if your not into that, the right set of tires makes it look so much nicer.

In a previous '12 Dodge Ram I owned, it had the same thing. One parking lot with slightly taller cement blocks was all it took. That thing was so low - much lower than the tacoma ones. As soon as I got home, it came off.

I agree with Junkhead too. TRD skid plate and tires. Drastic change. The TRD skid plate also makes oil changes MUCH easier. So function over form there too and worth the upgrade from a stock one.

 

Does that plate come in black? All I see is white.

 

Its actually silver but there have been a few guys on here that have painted them black.

 

It's a very paintable surface. Not at all like the stock ones you currently have. I believe "sandblasted" would be a good description.

I know they just had a sale where the TRD skid plate was like $100 off normal price. Genuine toyota parts site, can't remember for sure what it's called. But if you wait, there will most likely be another one and hopefully a member can link you the site.

 

Looks great!

 

You mean like this?

 

I just picked up my 2022 trd off-road and mine didn’t even come with that part??

 

The off roads and pros don’t come with it

 

Ahh ok

 

Looks wayy better

 

Agreed. I just removed mine today as well and going to instal a GreenLane Offroad skid plate next.

 

What kind of tires are those?

 

Toyo Observe winter specific tires. Once you get to 20 degrees Celsius they just melt. In ice and snow they rule.

 

Took mine off and can't give the old air dam away.

Painted my red letters black.

 

I'm surprised BC's little fab shop makes waves as far as Ontario, that's awesome! I've been seriously interested in their front bumpers, I'm very interested in the weight savings over steel and supporting a BC business, as a BC citizen is just the right thing to do.
