    Keep it on. The front suspension has been calibrated based on the reduced drag as a result of it. Removing it may void warranty.

    Installing it in the rear will overload the rear brake drums

    Hold on, hold on.

    You're gonna have to start a whole new thread to discuss dealer oil changes.

    It's not on the Offroads because it affects clearance/approach angle. If you need the clearance or just think it looks better without it, do it. Super easy to put back on if gas becomes that much of an issue.

    One of my buddies was running radar on a wide open straight road, the comment to dispatch, "send me a wrecker some one is going to jail" Yep a Tacoma at 108! That is considered criminal speed.

    Your buddy should come work the I 10 out here in the desert. He could fill up a couple bus loads of high speed "criminals" in a couple hours.

    Hi, you must be new.

    Your question was answered in the first two posts. It was also answered in about 20 threads before yours. So of course us no-lifes are gonna degenerate into BS. What else is there to do? Go outside? Pff.

    I initially removed mine. Over the last 4 months been trying it on and off checking gas mileage over the same 50 mile section of road. 21 to 21.6 with it off, 24 plus with it on.
