Bug Shields...what's the BUG idea? Am I right?

WRONG, probably...but I am interested in buying one, only based off of my experience with my 09 4Runner which was a MAGNET for bugs on the road... I'm interested in knowing your experience with the 3rd gen; have you noticed a substantial difference on the highway? I see a lot of them on the forums but wanted some feedback and recommendations please.

Thanks!

 

What or who, do yo want to shield from bugs..? and... "my 09 4Runner which was a MAGNET for bugs on the road... "OK... are you saying that your 4 Runner picked up dead bugs from the road because the vehicle was a "bug Magnet"..?? Confused..??

 

I would like to know how well they help from bugs splattering my windshield.
Do you think that it reduces bugs on windshield by 20, 30 or 40 % ???

 

It's purely cosmetic bro. They don't help one bit.

 

Don't waste your money...

 

They work in my third gen 4runner. But on the new Taco, it just looks dumb.

On the 4runner it helped a ton with debris like small rocks on the freeway to protect my hood. And I did notice that it does help keep the windshield a tiny bit cleaner. Reminder, this was on a 4Runner.

 

They don't do crap and in my opinion, looks ugly on the new Tacoma.
But, hey...if you like it, get it.

 

Purely interested in their performance only. We take a few 12 hour trips each year and my last vehicle took a beating without a bug shield. So if it serves no functional improvement on the 3rd gen, then I suppose its not worth it.
