Bugflector II - bad move

Hey All - first post.

I picked up a bugflector II today and installed it on my truck. Bad move.

The junk so poorly conforms to the shape of the body that it projects beyond the sides almost 2". F150 with a handle bar moustache.

I have contacted LUND but I don't expect to get much except for a lesson learned.

Now I guess I will go back to the dealer and give them some more money for a good one.

Good luck with Lund. Their service sucks. I have the interceptor from them and it works ok. Don't like the fact 90% of it is held on with double sided tape. Noticed the service place put it on so the driver side sticks out about a 1/2" further then the passenger side but will probably live with it. I use to be all for Lund but working with their CS dept clearly shows they don't care about customers.

Hate to tell you though that Lund also makes the one Ford sells.

Thanks man. I wondered about that.

I have the short one that came with the truck but I took it off b/c it was chrome and I have no chrome on my truck. I may see if my body guy can paint it

I had a Lund Visor on my 1994 F-150. I'll never use their products again after that.

Was an abomination. Leaked, cracked, required 10+ holes to be drilled in the roof




they make some nice bed covers though

Update

Wow! Not one but two CSRs from Lund emailed me on Monday. Apparently the retailer sold me the regular deflector not the low pro I wanted.

I still stand by what I said about it - but I am now talking about the regular model LOL.

They are sending me a low profile to replace it.
