    AHA! Brilliant! Wait...the same dealer that might advertise a SR5 as OR will be able to recognize a fairing missing?

    Slim chance, but there is a market then...ill hold out for 30 bux.

    Dankje

    I think you’ll need a saw to cut that valence. Only way it can fit in the garbage can

    I took it off mine bc it looks a lot cooler without it, and I want to hit bitches in their feels when I pull up on 33s with a 3inch boss lift. I’m so cool.

    That being said, my question on the matter is whether or not it plays a role when driving through a flooded Florida street in the summertime, to push some of the water off and away and create a wake that helps to circulate water away from the engine as you’re idling forward?

    I pulled mine off, no drop in mpg, but I did notice some increased wind noise. I started hearing a slight howl around 25-30 mph coming from the front end. I'm not sure from what exactly, but it kind of sounded like the LCA howl that earlier 3rd gens apparently had. Plugging the holes in the LCA's that weren't already plugged from the factory didn't kill the howl, and there was nothing else obvious, so I chopped the air dam down to a reasonable size and put it back on. No more noise, and it doesn't look so terrible anymore. It pretty much disappears now. IMG_9121.jpg IMG_9122.jpg IMG_9158.jpg

    I think this thread would be silly with or without your meme.

    Lots, straight from the factory.
    Yes. Take that abomination off the truck. It looks way better without it. Take the mud flaps off as well.
