    Trd pro grille with raptor lights
    So i recently got a volant cai with air ram. I do alot of highway driving and dirt road when i have to go to more remote job sites. My main question is with people who have had the air dam how does react when going through puddles? Does it take in alot of water or does no water get in?

    If it's bringing in air at the top of the grille, you'd have to hit the water pretty hard to splash high enough to get much in there, assuming the water level is at the height of your front bumper going in.

    Does that "ram" pull in air from right behind the top of the radiator?
