Bug deflector and vent visors

[Rameses]

Heh, in NJ empty casings in the car could put me in prison for 5 years.

Wow.

I hadn't heard about that.

I'm a little confused about the responses stating that the bug deflectors cause damage.  Must be some different brand than the ones I've used.  Both the ones I've had were attached to the underside lip along the front edge of the hood.  One used 3M doublestick tape and the other (best in my opinion) actually had me remove the plastic strip along that same edge and screw the deflector into the same holes where that strip was attached.  I think I have seen some that were doublestick taped to the top of the hood on others vehicles but would not use one of those models.

Just my personal experience with the one that came on my 98 Tacoma, YMMV.  Could have something to do with the amount of dirt/rocks/mud/sand that got under it from off-roading.  But the OP was looking at one for a Jeep and I often make the mistake of thinking trucks are for off-roading.  Mine was attached by screws under the hood, but still managed to scuff up the top of the hood in a few places before the sun exposure in AZ made it brittle and I inadvertantly snapped it off.

My last Jeep did it's fair share of off roading.  The bug deflector held up pretty good actually. 




My new Jeep is not going to see any off road time.  I can't afford to keep a toy truck around, and this one needs to get me to work and back.

Fair 'nuff.  Mine does double duty, but certainly looks like it :-)

Ah, NJ off-roading.  I remember those days.
