I took a disgusting set of bull bars off my rig 2 years ago and watched the paint on my hood slowly disappear. Had enough a bought a bug deflector. Not always 100% sure if i like it but it definitely has stopped the stone chips! Don't have much of a bug problem either

The bug shields give a truck a sporty look and they have protected the front hood of my 02 Taco. There are many different styles and companies out there, I think bug shields are worth the investment.

I have the same one that Jason B has. Since it is partially transparent it will complement the color of your Runner nicely.
Also it is a no "drill" , no "gumdrop bumper" install.

I am on my 2nd Toyota OEM bugshield. The first one deflected a 2x4 and was destroyed, but did not hurt my hood or windshield. The OEM is pretty expensive though. The most important thing is you get one that wraps around the sides.

I think that's the one that uses the gum drop bumpers. You don't want those.

In reply to Jason's comment, you can use the gum drop bumpers but stick them on the bug deflectors instead of the hood. Same protection, different application.
