    If you drive where they use salt in the winter leave it on, removing it will just expose your suspension and other things to much more salt and increase the amount of rust significantly. It also makes your truck more stable at higher speeds, it just does.

    Life is too short.

    Do whatever makes you happy (as long as you’re not hurting anyone else)

    Fuck what anyone else thinks...

    Remove it only if you want your truck to look better.

    OR here and I added mine on! Gas here in CA is expensive and if I can eke out a bit better mpg then it's worth it to me.

    Sure, adhesive will stick most anything to the splash pan

    Yes... but why would you want to? Anyone that knows to look in that spot knows the difference between a splash guard and a skid.




    I'd do what the rest of us have done and buy a cheap knockoff aluminum skid instead.

    I’d keep it- it protects the skid plate from getting dented by parking stop curbs and from rocks.
