Wink Plastic Front Air Dam...How long it took you to tear it off while wheeling?

Cracked it the second time wheeling, then on the forth trip I came out of deep water with it draging by one plastic clip underneath the Jeep. Why would they keep that plastic piece for crap on the rubi model???

LOD will be supplying me with a decent 'steel' one when they deliver my new front and rear bumpers.

X's 2000!!--every story that I've heard of this occurring, has been relatively tame wheeling. sometimes mud, and sometimes water. but usually nothing hardcore. I took mine off with a hacksaw.

Ripped mine off the first time I went out. Got stuck in the mud and when I was pulled out the air dam tried to dig a hole and popped off.

It hangs in my garage now, like a trophy.
