Whats the plastic thing under the radiator called? big plastic piece bolted to the frame with two bolts. i tore mine off and do i need a new one or its it just some dumb pos that i don't need

 

I wondered that too. When I was welding in my front hitch my buddy asked "What's all this plastic sh** for?"

Maybe to "protect" the bottom of the radiator, otherwise I don't know why it's needed

 

mine has been gone for a long time all that was left was the part that bolted on each side. i would say it just a little added protection from stuff hitting the radiator

 

mine in on a trail some were might be still there , you want it?

 

Want mine? ill take it off for you, im sick of looking at it lol.

 

its not needed as you can probly tell by the other posts! lol

 

its a wannabe skid plate for the radiator if you dont have a skid plate... you dont need it

 

its techinally an air dam for the radiator. i tore mine up a little bit when i hit that mud at the beach last summer. It has a little air duct thing in it on the bottom. I still have mine, it has a small tear in it, but nothing a few drill holes and zip ties wouldnt take care of. still have bolts too. pm me and i can sell it to ya

you can see the small tear. Also, see the air duct. I have since cleaned it up though, its not covered in mud

 

yea ill try fixing mine. i dont have that flap thing you have either behind it.

 

lol thats not a flap, that is part of it that is tore. thats where it needs to be fixed at. the "air dam" i was talking about is that port you see on the bottom that uns the length of the thing is about 1 1/2" wide

 

i just stitched mine with zipties just now. but the piece behind thatl that is falling down whats that called

 

you dont need it. its a waste.

 

thats why i left mine off, i figured if it tore that easy and fvcked up then dont need it

 

If anyone ever decides to be super **** and convinces themselves they need one, I have one in perfect condition. Bolts included. I'm sure I saved them with it.

mine broke off in half when it hit a pizza box hidden in a soft snowbank....
enough said

 

its an air dam that directs air up to the radiator and trans cooler but ive never heard of anyone having issues with overheating without it. i wouldnt worry much about it.

 

oh ik its not needed. i was wondering what it is. just going to buy a skid plate from someone on here.

 

i took a simular piece off my old ladies car a few months later i hit a cat doing 70MPH took out the radiator, a/c condenser, fan blades and fan shroud and few other parts mine looks like crap on the truck but its staying on till i make up a skid plate and test it on another cat

 

It helps with air distribution... keeps air going to where it is needed (somewhat).

 

im just going to to a front hitch under the valance and make a kid off of that
