Hello!

I am beginning my install of various things, dash cam, subwoofer, keyloc, etc.... I know the frunk liner is a time consuming thing, I was curious if I can drive with it OUT? This is my commuter vehicle and not sure I can get the whole thing done after work or even on a weekend "day". Thoughts on driving with the liner "out"?

You can drive the car without it, but it is a part of the car’s under-hood fluid dynamics. The frunk liner and the beauty panels help to prevent air that’s been through the heat exchangers from getting into the HVAC inlet. Not so bad on a cold day. Not so good on a hot day. ??

Just make sure you use a portable pump for the koi.

Darn it, I must have missed it sorry! I’m usually pretty good about searching.
I’m just saying that’s it’s interested and this subject came up multiple times in a short span of time. It’s not a common concern.

One of the things that triggered me was when pulling A pillars off, it took FAR longer than I anticipated so as I was planning this install I was trying to figure other options versus just parking this thing and using my dually as a commuter vehicle :)

Our son just bought a Subaru EV and their EV comes with none that you see all the electronics you would think you’re looking in a normal car

I think the Suburu EV is actually the Toyota EV? Although I do like the Suburu trim version of it better.

Other Toyota models are made in Subaru mfg plants as well
