I get a crap ton of bugs here so I'm trying to find a bug shield for my 86 4runner but am having no luck.

Does anyone know where they have them? or if they even exist?

 

The things that go on the hood? I have one. Got it from autoanything.com

Its from Lund, i think it was 80 or so. But i have a 94 so idk if they make em for your 86. Good luck

 

I've had a few from JC Whitney over the years:

 

The stickers are holding mine together!! I can't remember what brand it is but it came with "Toyota" decal and I scored out of a junkyard.

 

I'm pretty sure advance auto parts has them and they'll order them if they don't have it in stock, it's around $35 or $40.

 

I have one i'm not sure where it came from but it has a metal rail at the bottom and then is a semi hard plastic stuff on top. But it helps a ton even though sometimes i think it looks retarded but it does its jobs and it reduces the rocks on your windshield to!

 

mine was on the truck when I got it... it's pretty dry-rotted now, and is cracked in about 3 places

 

i liked the look of mine when i got it just found a couple pictures...

 

Hey 94, what brand is that? 'Cause that's the same style that I have.

 

I wish i could tell you, it came with the truck but i want to say it's avs.

 

I have one just like that. Its by Lund.

 

Sweet, thanks!!!

 

Ok so it looks like you guys have them for second gens which I can also find all day long

I cannot find one for MY 4runner though which is an 86.........aka 1st gen

 

Mine is a 1st gen 4Runner (picture at the beginning of the thread). Deflector brand is GT Styling (GTS), purchased from: http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/cli...00000008966732

 

IT IS!!!!! WOW!!! Soooo.....what's the problem??

There is another option. Just check the pic of the Tacoma.

It is half bra/ half deflector. I bought one for an 88 4Runner that the PO left leaves decaying behind the plastic deflector, so the paint in that section was ruined. I know if you have a nicely painted hood, this will wear through the clear coat. But mine was shot, and it was cheaper then repainting the hood. I just took it off everytime I washed it and cleaned out most of the dirt, and I never had a problem.

Call them when you order. They sent me the wrong one stating they didn't make one for a 1st gen 4Runner, even though its an option on the page. The one pictured on the Tacoma on that webpage fits perfectly, tell em you want that one.

 

I never was a big fan of that style... they just look un-finished to me...

but that's just my opinion

 

If you can find one of the straight, flat, tall ones that look like something your Dad would put on his truck to haul the camper to Florida, grab it. Heck, grab me one!
The curved, molded ones don't do a damn thing for keeping bugs off the windshield. I live in bug country, too. It's gotta be pretty tall to work.
