Air Dam - Bolt onto 2024 Off Road?

[robfultz]

I know most people are ripping them off.
Does anyone know if they would bolt onto an Off Road?

I did like to try one.

My off-road came with the air dam. I removed it within the first week.

Well that’s good to know if I find someone local that wants to unload one.
Thx, Rob

I took one off of a TRD Sport, it’s in perfect condition. Probably not worth the cost of shipping, but if you by chance are in the Easton, PA area it’s yours. Also heading to our home in Venice, FL on December 27 if you are in that area. Happy to throw it in the back and drive it down.

What's it take to get it off? Seems silly of Toyota to put it on a 4X4 truck and lower your front clearance off-roading or even the damage if would cause if you hit a racoon on the highway!

8-10 small bolts. The air dam is surprisingly light/flimsy.

It’s about 7 or 8 bolts easily removed and takes all of 5 minutes to remove. When done put the bolts back into the holes for a more finished look. You then have two choices if you want to add a skid plate. You’ll need a crossmember from NYTOP if you want to add the OEM or heavy skid plate. I put this one on from ebay, 395759516137. It does not require the crossmember and I think it has a better fit with the lower bumper cover than even the OEM plate. Not as heavy duty but will more than protect the bottom from light off roading. It is a Sport and not an OR after all. Easy 15 minute install. I have not noticed any difference in handling or MPG without the dam. Perhaps a loss of a MPG or 2 if you do all high speed highway driving, but otherwise I think the truck is better off without the dam and with a decent skid plate.
