    And on windy days the noise is worse yet. I was just glad I kept mine so I could put it back on. I'm pretty good about throwing things away then wishing later I wouldn't have.

    I keep mine on for two reasons. First, living in the rust belt, I like to imagine it keeps some of the salt spray off the front area behind the chin strap. Second, I think the side profile of the front without it is hideous.

    2020 OR didn't come with one. I get 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway on a good day. (Have a bed cover, don't know if that makes a difference in mpg).

    I removed mine after 4½ years of use... I also installed a TRD skid plate. I was fine with it on. But I am happy with the look of it off too.

    Took mine off, noticeable difference to MPG

    Be proud of your chin testicles!

    On the topic though, I removed mine after about a month with them on the truck. Definite hit to MPGs, about 1-2mpg drop around town and ~3-4mpg on long freeway drives. Not a HUGE difference since I don't do a whole lot of freeway driving right now and I live somewhere where gas is still relatively cheap.

    Boy-oh-boy!

    These noun combinations are too funny!

    What else have they been called, earings?

    Technically in this case, "chin" becomes an adjective because it is being used to describe the noun "testicles".

    See, and they said I'd never use this crap once I got out of high school. :D

    He said "front end undercarriage", not rear. I shouldn't have to explain this.

    IDK if camel-toe is allowed (keeping it clean here), but it was a good rebuttal.
