I like it. What grill is that?

Yep in theory, that all makes sense. But we're talking about a Toyota Tacoma.
The gains in performance from aerodynamic features are not theoretical. Tacomas suck as it is in a crosswind. Getting more air underneath it at 70mph is only going to make it worse. Some people might not mind chasing the steering wheel around on the freeway and losing a mpg or two, but the OP asked what was the purpose of the air dam.

Yes your right. I appreciate your input! Maybe I'll try to find an aftermarket rather than just removing it. Thanks!

It's there to block any moisture from touching the frame since Tacomas are rust magnets.

The off-roads don't have them. They look better without it IMO.

Bestantonio sold his Tacoma for a 4Runner. I haven't seen him on the site since.

Looks like Bushwacker pocket style.
