Does anybody took off for good the front air-mud guard? Does it have a specific function? Any speculation it’s welcome.

It's good at reducing approach angle. Scratched mine when testing to see what the BS could do. I wonder if it has any effect on MPG.

There was thread a little while back. I guess if for aerodynamics around the tire.

Interesting that the badlands doesn't even come with it. One mine came loose somehow and got chewed up by the tire. They're held on by much.

I took mine off at first oil change, both splash guards and mud flaps. Off-road they get in the way and will cause damage. Mine looks like a shark took a bite from it. Free to anyone who wants to pickup in NJ.

I also ran into the same issue where I went off-road and chewed up the driver side guard.

Does anyone know the part number to it, or would one of you kind gents like to sell me yours (if undamaged)?

The internet has all kinds of worthless parts for sale, I find it odd they can’t be found :,P
