removing air dam and fog lights

[jastutte]

Are there any adverse side-effects to removing the air dam? I think that's what you call the plastic bit below the bumper that houses the fog lights. I'm thinking of removing it in the future but wasn't sure if it would affect fuel consumption or cooling or just eliminate the fog lights.

Thanks,

just remove it... now issues at all, unless you could having your rover look better a bad thing

Ditto,

mine's been off over a year, I mounted lites from hell on the bumper and wired them to foglight connectors.

I picked a line for the side caps & just cut the plastic.

Now I can ram snowdrifts with impunity.

luck,greg

My air dam looks much better hanging up in our pole barn rafters. Took it off several years ago. Discoveries look much better without. No appreciable difference in cooling. Fashioned conveyor material and mudflap material to house side marker lites. Been stopped by other discovery owners wanting to know where they came from. I told them tractor supply. Plus the marker lites are mount on the conveyor material and push in in the likely event a stump or whatever hits them. Would have cut the bottom half of the dam off but decided not to in the event I sell it and some nerd wanted the original dam.

If you go the ARB route that air dam has to come off anyway - good riddance!
