Makes you worry about what our keeps would like having run through wherever this guy did! I'm ready for them to go away although this weekend there have been noticeably fewer.

AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH I hate those damn love bugs. Didn't get a photo because I had to clean them off the second I got home before their acidic little innards ate through my paint, but I arrived home with a full windscreen of squished bug guts, a grill full of half-impacted bugs, and thanks to having the windows open, a bunch of squished bugs on both me and my back seat passengers due to a side wind driving back from St. Augustine to Gainesville. Can't wait for love bug season to be OVER! ... ok, finished ranting. My awesome Jeep is shiny and bug-free again, at least until I head out to work in the morning :)

Since it is getting bug season in Florida, I wanted to protect my hood and possibly the windshield from bugs. I looked an a number of options and decided on the Auto Ventshade 436148 Aeroskin II Textured Black Flush Mount Hood Protector for 2018-2018 Jeep Wrangler JL and found it for $88 on Amazon. I like the shield since it matches the texture and color of the from bumpers and painted fender trim on my JLUR. You simply use the double sided 3M tape (included) to affix the shield to the hood. I love the low profile!

Hey John! There are only two photos in a review of this product on Amazon. Are they your pics?

I’d like to put together a meet at some point. Nothing crazy, maybe a beach run and some grub.

Other than that, it’s only like another 339 days until Jeep Beach 2020

A club is a great way for a less experienced Jeeper to get safe exposure to trail rides, or a more experienced trail rat to get more time offroad.

Anyone in Central FL that wanting opportunities to do trail rides, consider the Orlando Jeep Club. I joined a few months ago, and there are couple official club rides each month, and numerous other rides that members partake in. I think it's $40 a year. With a Group ride you can watch someone else navigate an obstacle, and decide on your best line, or to go around. If you get stuck or have trouble, there are knowledgeable people to offer whatever assistance necessary.

I've also heard good things about the Ocala Jeep Club, but have not joined them.

See you on the trails, or at the beach, or ....

Cheers,
James

I don’t ever remember having to clean my vehicles just because of bug juice..
