Removed Air Dam

[The Lasagnas]

Removed the air dam today. 9 x 10mm bolts. Gotta say it looks alot better. Now, a TRD skid plate is needed.

Looks great! Need to remove mine…. Do they make a black with red letters skid plate or just the grey ish color with red letters?

Thanks! All I've seen is the gray one. If you google it for sale, you'll see some good sales prices on them. Some under 400$

We haven't driven it since I took it off just this afternoon. There's a video that shows testing on it with and without, and he lost .8 mpg.

I’m assuming there is no access door to the oil filter on the ‘25 pro skid plate?

 

[The Lasagnas]

I don't think so. We're looking at Rival plates now.

Nice.

Do you have any revised MPG estimates of driving city/freeway stats?

TFL did a real world MPG test before & after of the 2025 4Runner with and without air dam

Video: MPG with & without air dam (removed) on 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road (non-hybrid) 6th Gen -- Real world test

Result: 22.67 MPG vs 23.47 MPG: The minuscule difference (only about 0.8 MPG gain) between test runs with and without the air dam suggests negligible real-world fuel economy impact, debunking the myth about the air dam's importance.

I was watching TRD Jon and he removed the air dam and said he got some whistling around 65-70 MPH. I want to remove mine when I get it, but I don't know quite yet how to fix the whistling. I see you said you haven't driven it yet, but when you do, an update on any whistling would be appreciated!

No. To be fair we don't have a baseline with the dam on. We only have right at 200 miles on it altogether
