Hit a dog in the road at night, big bummer, after swerving to avoid another dog in the road.
It smashed up the air dam below the bumper.
Has anyone made up something or bought something to direct air to the radiator and deflect air from the running gear?
I thought of a skid plate extension to go from the bottom of the bumper to the front edge of the skid.
But there must be some deflection of air to the radiator......

When you take the front bumper off to but on an ARB - or even - just to clear larger tires.
all of that goes away, hasn't made any difference cooling yet

although I don't tow, but we are at 60 days over 100F

so unless you're planning on towing a camper to Arizona - I don't think it's a cooling problem
(might affect mileage about .1 - .2 mpg)

(and why did you post in 4x2 ?- over in CRD land you'll probably get more comments)
