    2014 tundra has anyone found anything to help with all the bugs that splat on the huge windshield? Is there a bug deflector that actually keeps bugs off the windshield? Last 2000 model tundra we had the bug deflector sent the bugs straight to the windshield!!!

    It's a losing battle. I've found there to be far more bugs than windshields.

    Aftermarket front and rear lights, added fog lights, bed liner, bull bar, bed cover, chrome door handles, chrome mirrors, side steps, AFE stage 2 Short RAM intake, Pioneer stereo, Alpine 6x9 front door speakers, 6in Pioneer round speakers rear door, 1 12in Pioneer sub with 1200 watt Sony Xplode amp. Toyota door logo courtesy lights and 20in black and machine rims on 275/60 Cooper HT plus M&S tires also painted red calipers. Also painted red Toyota emblem.
    The only combination I've come up with is. Put a layer of rain x then a few layers of turtle wax on the windshield. It makes it so the bugs don't stick as back as easier to wipe off.

    My AVS Bugflector 1 worked very well on my Tacoma in combination with RainX wash/wax coming back from AK. I just put an AVS bugflector II on my Tundra. Will find out in a couple days how well this one works out aerodynamically speaking on my upcoming road trip.
