Default EGR Bug Shield

I do lots of night driving in the northern forrest of Saskatchewan and cannot stand having to clean my windshield of bug every half hour to be able to see. Do any of the members here use the EGR bug shield

Is this worth getting?

Honestly, I looked into getting it a few years ago, I have had a bug shield on every truck I have owned w/ the exception of my pro street S10, I got the Hummer and saw the limited market on these. A one time member named Rhill20 (Rich) no longer has his H3 and had it, totally talked me out of it. He had a rock chip and numerous bug hits on the way to Rausch Creek ORV... WITH it on!

I would try to fab and old school flat style/ big rig approach before ever getting that one...

Just my .02 free of charge

Yes, I have one and it does work. It wasn't that expensive
I painted mine body color to make it blend in more

Thanks for the advice, that was one of the problems i thought about, the h3 bug shield seems to be at such a small angle against the hood compared to the one on my ol' dodge that seems to help a whole bunch.

Looks good wfturner!

It does cut down on the bugs and light debris. It is better than nothing and that's why I bought it
Like you, these H3 windshields seem to attract everything, but women and money

u can buy window screen at any hdwe store. i use left over or scrap from old screen doors. just measure roughly,roll it sneak it in through the grill and mess around till u get it flat?,,in front of rad. takes some effort but really catches a lot of junk,gunk,debris. i sure wouldnt get into mud without it!!
