Can anyone give me some Intel on how to remove these? I’ve tried searching but whenever I search air dam all that comes up is the FX2 air dam. I’m sure it’s fairly straight forward, I just like to research things to death before I do them so it goes smooth
(at least that’s what I hope for ??)

one of mine is loose.
there are screws on the back side. might even be a silly rivet for one of them

i think at this point i have lost one screw completely and the other is loose.
waiting on better weather to crawl under and fix it
Maybe if you’re lucky it’ll remove itself safely! Lol

You have a screw loose? ? Just one?
I don't know, may be worth a second opinion. :wink:

Its pretty simple. there is a bolt in the top outer edge behind the crashbar. another on the bottom attached to a bracket that goes up to the recovery hook. that also comes off with a tiny bolt. I think there are a few plastic pins or "rivets" for locating, but they dont do much holding
here is one laying on the ground during some work I was doing, its not specific to the air dam, but you can see the mounting points

Got them off today. Fairly easy to do. 3 bolts per guard on mine.
1 8mm and 2 10mm.
1 on th bracket.
1 outside the crash bar
And one behind/ above the crash bar.
fairly simple but a shitty spot to get a ratchet into!

looks 10x better IMO. And will be even better once leveled.
