I broke my damn Bug Shield! It caught the side of my Brush Guard and broke.. No biggie.. It was seriously faded.. I want another Smoked Bug Guard.. Which one do ya'll recommend? RealTruck has a helluva deal on Guards like AVS, EGR and Lund..

 

Storm, I have the Lund Trident Bug Shield #LND-86062 its a bolt-on one "drill less" it works great and looks great too, I got mine from summit.com it was 68.00 w/o shipping.
I looked for it cant find it, I bought mine in April 2005.
~Gage~

 

EGR products are finished and fit very nice. OEM quality.

 

That thing is for INSECTS not Volkswagens and Hondas... Jeesh!

(although in TX, they're somewhat interchangeable!)

Some of the insects I have been seeing lately are as big as Volkswagons and Hondas.

 

I have a lund that I bought off ebay. Shipping and all was only $43.50. Did not have to drill. It fit on 4 existing screws in hood.

 

Cabelas has their branded versions for $39 and $49 depending on which height you want. They're made by Lund I believe.

 

I have the AVS one. Paid about $45 at Pep boys when it was on sale. AVS is owned by Lund. One day I found mine split in half vertically near the middle. I called Lund. They said as long as it wasn't damaged from rock impact they guarantee it for life. They sent me a free replacement about 2 weeks after I sent them a copy of the 2 year old receipt and a note explainig I didn't know how it broke. Very good customer support and a good shield too.

 

It doesn't say what brand you have but most of them have a lifetime warranty on breakage, etc.

 

I dunno who makes it.. Was on the truck when I bought it..

 

I see. That may make it a little tough.

 

You could always get the one Ford sell's, its basically a "lund" copy and is a direct bolt-on...its what I have but I was happier with the Lund I had for my '99 F150.

 

i have an avs and the crack seems to be getting linger and longer along side the center bolt on the left....is this normal from slamming the hood everytime

 

Yeah mine is cracked too.. It's from slamming the hood.. I think Lund makes mine.. I dunno.. I'll just by a lund because they are always the ones I had on my old trucks..

 

Iv'e had 2 avs and both crackedin the bend where the hood bend in the center. Last on was smoke. This one is clear and painted the same as the truck which I really like. Last one broke on the drivers side this one is on the passenger side. I really want another one but if they are all goinng to crack, then whats the point. Went back to the shop I bought it at and they said not warrantyed. Mine is not broke completly yet but is getting worst. If ya'll know of a better product in clear let me know.
