Any tips on how to remove this peace? I got mine cought up doing some minor off roading and now it’s cracked. I figure if I remove it I’ll get about an extra 3 to 4 inches for clearance in the front.

I'm pretty sure theres only two bolts on each side that hold it up you just need the right size socket..the rest of it is held on by these things that pop in, you can just get something sharp and cut the top off and the valance should pop right off.. it took 10 minutes to take mine off

Notice any difference with it off?

They actually make those in different sizes. The Outdoorsman/TRX truck’s has a shorter hanging lip. Should come off pretty easily as stated above

If you do any audio installs you probably have an interior panel removal tool. Likes like 2 Phillips split on the end. Pops those plastics guys off quick and won’t damage them either.

I don’t do any audio installs, I know the tools you speak of though. I might tackle the removal today however I just opened my first beer and my father in law says tonight is for drinking...so we will see how it goes..

Those push in plastic bolts/nuts/buttons whatever U call them. U can go to autozone/Oreilly's and get a "door panel" fastener tool remover for like $8.00, just saying...

FWIW, on the MY 19, they actually have another air dam attached there that moves with different temps for air flow, what a bunch of extra BS to break...
