    WARNING: I AM TROLLIN!

    Can someone provide me with pictures of the inner fenders, specifically the vents? I dont drive a taco, I drive an F250 Diesel. Why am I here? I have seen these on Tacos and like them. I am going to be doing a modification to my truck to do the same for aerodynamics. Will it help? Who knows haha, but it will be free(ish) and I like free mods.

    Thanks for the help!

    What vents? Most of us on here who are running lifts trim the fender flares, and that whole section of inner fender is usually the first to go. They are useless in my opinion.

    My vents weren't as big as the picture above! They were a little cup at the bottom of the fender that got in the way. What is the point of a fender vent? Aerodynamics???

    The little cup for all I can understand is for the random shit that collects involving rain to drain

    No I could have sworn there were rear facing vents to allow air to escape the wheel well more efficiently.
