How many of you actually remove the air dam from the front bumper?

I've added a secondary air dam to reduce the amount of wind resistance on my primary air dam, and a third air dam to further reduce drag and improve air flow. My Tacoma now cuts through the airlike a humming bird. Sounds like one to!

J/K my OR didn't come with a chin strap. I'd probably have taken it off if they did.

 

I removed it, looks much better

 

Not to mention, the ladies seriously dig the look, in and out of the truck.

 

I agree. I'm putting my faith in that the Toyota engineers aren't designing stuff willy-nilly because it 'looks bitchin'.. There's a lot of stuff on our trucks, down to tiny details, that was designed that way for a reason. Works for me..

 

I did the same thing as you and got the same results...it was off for a couple weeks, back on now

 

Nice looking truck!

 

I believe the TRD Sport is the only one that comes with the Air Dam--since the Sport is designed for street driving.

 

Look around. Virtually every truck made in the last decade has this feature. Ford, Chevy, Ram and of course Toyota. That said, I took the one I had on a previous Sport model off and installed a TRD skid plate. Looked better and with my driving habits zero affect on MPG. If you do a lot of high speed highway driving pushing past 70 mph you might see some MPG decline. But around town, suburban type driving which only involves a limited amount of freeway travel there should be no difference. You'll waste more gas going through the fast food drive through then that air dam could possibly save you.

 

I was thinking, maybe I should get one, so I can take it off.

 

for tacomas, i think only the sr's and trd sport. off road and pro do not

 

Took mine off few weeks ago.

 

Get a TRD Skid or an Air Dam?

The TRD Skid will not allow the Air Dam to be re-installed--which is a good thing. It's beautiful!

 

Try it you may like it.

 

Well, both, but the skid would stay!

 

That's is a surprisingly good video. I learned a few things.

 

Thanks, that's good to know. Got to check that out.

 

Thanks, she’s simple but beautiful.

 

Looks beautiful!

 

Took mine off, put on the TRD skid plate, some demon brackets, and D ring hooks. Don't flame me, I know I can't use those hooks for actual recovery other than maybe something very light

 

Thank you!

I just had a good laugh at your expense.

That's about the worse "flaming" I'll do...is laugh at your guilty explanation.
