DIY airdam removal with pic
I really hate the stupid plastic factory air dam on my new Jeep, seems like it should have been made of something more suitable. So today I decided enough was enough and uninstalled it.
*note I am not mechanically inclined, so this seemed to be the easiest route I saw on youtube.
1. Find big friggin mud hole
2. Say to yourself " I have driven through this before, what could possibly go wrong?"
3. Charge ahead in a suitable gear with whatever lockers and sway position you prefer ensuring you slide into a giant rut that wasn't there last time
4. Call buddy
5. "Yeah dude I know it was stupid...now..."
6. Make sure at this point you are completely sitting on the undercarriage, it helps if the mud hole has a sandy bottom to assure complete loss of traction and that the rut you fell into is really big too.
7. Hook up and tow out backwards because forward didn't work and I doubt the air dam could be easily removed that way anyway
8. Take off two remaining plastic clips and there you go, air dam removed!

I've never been that deep before, and I somehow got muddy water into my radiator, check your overflow bottle and radiator.
