Installed The Blazer/S10 Air Dam

I had to add a small brace in the middle behind the dam to stop it from warping inwards.

Congrats! you did a good job. It looks great.

Definitely looks good. What are you initial impressions on how it performs?

 

[Talyn]

Looks good.. Still need to do that on the ZJ as I've heard of a significant MPG increase using it. My XJ's height is beyond hope for that mod.

Looks great. I can see where you got the inspiration to do it.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I haven't been driving it much since I have no classes during the summer. Fall term starts on august 26th so that's when I would really know how installing the air dam effected my mpg's. I've added 93 octane when my XJ had roughly half a tank of 87 octane so that equates to 89 octane midgrade fuel. I immediately noticed smoother idle, especially when the engine is cold right after initial start-up. The gas level looks to be dropping slower too.

 

[Dr. Dyno]

I doubt that you'll see any improvement in gas mileage but the front end might feel more stable when driving at high speeds.

Its may improve a bit with the xj not being lifted on big tires this blocks a lot of the air that hits the axle steering and other components down low. So it should do something as for how much guess you would need a before and after to get a real test.

any air directed around or over instead of under on an XJ is going to be a gain in aero and MPG as a result, however slight it might be. Dont particularly like the look myself, but certainly a good idea for a DD

can you get some pics from further away maybe a angle shot?

Like these?
You can see in the second picture how the air dam blends in and doesn't really stick out when you get further away from it.

Thanks, to bad they aren't wider.
