You just need a bigger parts cannon !
Hahah never been so early. The deflector is a life saver when it comes to rock chips.
are you yelling at kids to get off your lawn yet?
Your suburban look ABSOLUTELY beautiful i love how its in great condition .
In Florida, window visors are a must & I have had them on my last 3 vehicles. Allows the car to be vented sitting in the hot Florida sun without any rain coming in. Although, small drawbacks are bugs occasionally getting in & people using leaf blowers around the car can make a mess inside, but I wouldn't have a vehicle without them. Just got a bug deflector, mainly for looks.
Thats not a squarebody. Squarebody body from 73 - 91 suburban, k5 blazer, 3/4 or 1 ton truck and 73 - 87 1/2 ton. Thats a obs style suburban 92 to 99
Bug deflectors would really be great if they actually deflected bugs.
They do deflect bugs, grasshoppers, rocks etc. They aren't and never were intended to keep your windshield completely clean from bug guts. Keeping the front edge of your hood from taking damage from direct hits from hard bugs as well as the acid from the guts along with a bit of security from rocks was the original intent imo. Take a look at an older truck that never had a guard and look at one that has and you will see what I'm talking about. The guards on the 1ROAD Suburban are nearly the same as I had on my Tahoe. Not only do they serve to protect the paint job and the windshield but look great on that body style. I had to replace my hood guard once after a rock hit and broke it. No doubt it saved me from taking more expensive damage.
@@hwsadberry6781 Good point.
They work, it would deflect most bugs
@@hwsadberry6781 thinking of getting this for my dads Accord. He daily drives and it gets chips all over its hood
@@T6Jacob he's following too closely behind others. Especially trucks with offroad tires pick up road pebbles and fling them much more
Only deflectors I ever liked was the Bug Shields by Armadillo on 70s/80s trucks. Ultra retro. Otherwise no thanks.
Who cares what we think? I use them when I can because of the old adage form follows function. I’ve always thought they afforded a lot of protection and I love the ability to crack the windows in the summer and leave them down without worrying about rain entry. I don’t get the whole grandpa/old man thing I loved these as a teenager so…?
It's not the square body style.
No, actually they are what are called "OBS" for "old Body Style
Your Suburban looks great. Nice and clean. 🇺🇸
90’s GMC front are the most beautiful !!!
To make it a "grandpa truck" you'd have to put some silly looking running boards on it or a roof visor.
Took my old man running boards off when it came home! Want em?! Haha
I think you did a good job but the product needs work. I've had lots of Weather Tech floor mats and every one of them has curled up.
Thanks,!, interestingly my two vehicles WEATHER tech LASER CUT 2015 Journey, & Fitted Mat 2007:GMC CANYON- are Super Premium.& stable ( in HeLENA Valley MT , severe range of Weather).. Interestingly, my Grandson lost (? ) ONE OF MY Truck MATS LAST Summer: still replacement Guaranteed!, ( I sent phone Picture od BACK,OF REMAINING PASSENGER MAT, GOT new marched Set( interestingly looks like my 2007 Set not made anymore....)!! Ps: my Daughter got set of mats , supposedly Brand name, look cheap compare to WeatherTechs.....etc.Actually, my Third Set of WT Mats: as I got set for 1997 DODGE INTREPID & forget purchase Date;; good product for use Northern Indiana , severe Cold *& weather too....where we used to live, Thanks for listening...
Me too, the high sides curled inwards, it is very irritating
I personally think trucks look better with these installed. They preserve paint from rock chips and bugs , protect windshield from bugs in summer country driving. That’s really the main pro and why so many have them.
Like you channel and I've learned a few things, but... it is not a "square body"... they ended in '91... I've had both and currently have a '92 Blazer that's the same body style as your Suburban.
They match your fog lights. Absolutely horrible.
This is a sweet suburban! You do a great job of keeping it up
Thanks!
Mine came from oriellys. They stick on the outside of the doors around the window. They work just fine.
Your Suburban looks great! These trucks are a classic and are very handsome trucks. I have a love for squared off 90s suvs like my 98 Grand Cherokee.
My dad had a 1998 suburban, dint't make 100k, had all kinds issues, remember this ride, taking us to school, your ride looks good
The hood bug deflectors are actually incredible. If you’ve ever driven through an area with heavy bug infestation at night where you can see it working it’s truly amazing. I had one on my truck years ago and it was a life saver as I worked a lot at night.
However, I ordered the Weathertech for my 2018 Silverado a couple of years ago and was incredibly disappointed. The screw holes didn’t line up with the factory locations on the truck and once mounted it was incredibly wobbly and it was obvious it would have scratched my hood up badly. I ended up giving it away to someone else.
I’d like to get one for my truck now, but don’t know which one would fit securely. I know it’s not the Weathertech!!
AVS
Mine are on a Dodge Nitro and they are Wade by Weston made in California. They are the in channel type don't like the stick- on type. I trimmed my corners with my Dremel tool smooth operating now
I actually like the unibrow thats been on my NBS sierra forever
Only had one truck with deflector on it. Was on there over ten years. Ruined the paint down deep in there where I couldn't wash well. Also had a small rock chip in the windshield. You can't win. Run what you like, it's more of a trim item than a deflector though. Cleaned all kinds of bugs off my windshield in N. Carolina. Maybe deflects Nats, I don't know.
I have those side window shades also, mine are the 3M tape on's. Biggest problem with those is having them blow off going down the road. Dang 3M tape is a bear to get loose but be damned if it has not much problem on it's own. The shades are nice in humid area's where in spring you may not want defrost on but feel being able to see is sorta important too.
It is a Grandpa Off-Road Beast
Weather tech are the best. The old style bug deflectors work great. The new ones are not as good, more for rocks chipping the paint. Years ago they were straight 5" ish flat plastic that really kept the windshield clean.
In the thought of buy low, is it worth a #1 WW priority slide to pick up Pacheco and stash? I have Brooks on IR currently so I could slide him in there. Thoughts?
Looks awesome
Window visors are a must for every vehicle. I've never been a big fan of the hood bug deflector, but they look pretty good. Just not my thing. My first set, over 25yrs ago, were in channel. I thought that was the best and only way to go. Over time I found out they come with some problems and headaches. Been using the outside tape ons ever since. They work great. I use the AVS brand though and never had a issue. Love the truck and original look with the factory rims.
lol no it's not, it's old fashion that expired in the 90's.
.😊
Looks great! Personally I prefer the vent shades that stick to the door than the in channel. I've had the in channel visors brake over a short period of time from opening and closing the windows.
Have a 95 myself... also love the bug deflector and window deflectors as I also have them on mine!
Can you tell if the window deflectors increased or decreased the wind noise at highway speeds?
Looks Awesome now all you need is a AAA sticker looks great.
Lund makes a good product also. Suburban looks good 👍🏿
Your Canyonero looks amazing
Looks great , add a set of black nerf bars.
I took care of my truck for years. No dents or nothing, until we started using the freeway, now the paint is chipping and that would of protected it
If alot of the milage is done on the highway these are a must have if you dont have a lebra mask. I can put a little bit of looks aside to protect the front end of the vehicle but thats just me. My truck is all black so everything blends anyways
Ha Ha oh Jimmy! Well you asked for comments so here it goes....I purchased my 1995 Suburban about 5 yrs ago and the FIRST thing I did was to REMOVE the hood bug shield and window shades. Did not like all that add-on plastic crap.
Just sayin"!! LOL I guessing next add will be a fake leather steering wheel cover!! Not hatin' bro...just not for me.
Jimmy READ THIS --- D A N G E R -- First I do like the look of your ride. BUT I had those in channel on my SUV for several years. After I took them out the seal leaked air BAD. Going down the highway it just whistles.... I believe it was caused by the seal being squeezed / compressed by the in channel wind deflectors over the years, the seal never came back to original shape and it’s been 4 years now. Again I do like the look of the in channel over the stick on but be warned there are consequences. But on the other hand you can do a video in the future on how to replace the window seal... (speaking from experience)
Just PLEASE don't put 30" GHETTO PIMPMOBILE REEHUUMS on it with painted on tread. In fact it would look great with some RWL BFG All Terrain T/As on the stock wheels.
Awesome, Jimmy! Looks just like mine, same color too.
They're not for bugs. They are for small rocks. To prevent hood scractches and even rocks from hitting the windshield. Its better than nothing. But its not for bugs.
The S clips don't look nice personally speaking....I agree with you.
Again not a fan of the S clips personally.
Sorry
I have a '93 GMC Suburban SLE I'm working on. I'm using this site for my inspiration even though mine is nowhere as nice a shape as your '95.
Your Suburban looks great, but it's not a Squarebody. Those ran '73-'87 and the 1tons blazers and suburbans ran through '91.
What was the title of this video? Not one word as to Why Never.....in fact you barely spoke of the deflector. It was mostly about the side window visors. Learn to title your videos better. You wasted my time.
Older trucks the deflectors work. Now on the newer trucks wind deflectors are a freaking nightmare as they disturb the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
I like weather tech mats but on my 96 suburban and these rains guards are a terrible fit, nothing holding the front in at all And the rear looks bad. There not really in channel if both ends are out…I’m going to return mine I’d rather have the glue on than this.
I like it , a lot , I just installed a new one on my 2004 Chevy Suburban z71 …
i always lived these older trucks i still got my 99 Expo
They make these trucks look sooooo ugly though I’m actually taking my bug deflector off “unibrow”
I used to drive a 1995 K1500 as the parts delivery truck with the same deflectors. The rain guards are sure nice on a hot but rainy day. The one thing I still kind of like that you're missing is the big sun visor - but the one I remember was pretty noisy.
If it is made in Germany you can rely on this product, I know because I lived there and they dont mess around with quality.
square body is 1973-1991. but nice like 2500 suburban 4x4 front bench seat style.
Can u tell me how to fix a noisy bug deflector ? It makes noise in speeding above 130 km / h
That is one fine Yukon XL
much nicer than newer versions!
OK im going to un subscribe unless you answer me as to why your video say you should never this or that????????
I always hated how hood deflectors look if you want to get rid of rock chips get a clear bra but i do love wind deflectors that go on the doors
Sorry, I don't like the bug deflector. But I understand about the ones on windows
I love your truck keep going
Thanks! Will do!
The ones that go outside are much better you'll find the ones that go inside you got a whistle to them when you're driving
nice suburban..........look good............mine is 1998 gmc yukon i like this truck........
Do you wanna go full grandpa they make this panels that go underneath the door trimming around the whole body of the car They are stainless steel
with the price of them weather tech gear you would think it SHOULD be perfect..
I recently got some avs ones for my 99 classic z71 and they look sweet
Ford guy here… that’s a nice lookin gm
Can you tell if the window deflectors increased or decreased the wind noise at highway speeds?
Hell Yeah Truck looks Gr8
I'll definitely look into Weathertech
Look very nice I put the other style on my s10 the stick on one love them still on the truck wen I sold it
Say square body one more time and i stg Imma smash my head against a brick wall

Let us know how your window deflectors work out in the future. I've seen that the deflectors that you have installed which go into the windows wear out your motors quite quickly. Did you consider this and weighed the pros and cons before your final decision?
Hmm. I hadn’t thought of that. I guess it’s possible. I haven’t noticed anything as of yet.
Cool beans man. Stoked you replied! Yes look into it. I'm really excited for you and your family with your move to Tennessee. Thank You for all the hard work and great information in all your videos. On behalf of all your subscribers Thank You.
I don't understand.
Can you please explain how they could wear out the window motors?
You can't do overlanding with a GMC. It can barely stay on the road.
I would like WeatherTech floor mats in my Chevy Tahoe.
Anyone know if these come off when you go through the automatic car washes?
💁🏻♂️ ✨GREAT✨ L👀KiN’ TRUCK, brother❗️

You have a nice suburban, but it is NOT a SquareBody! ! !
The weathertech floor mats were very slippery when they were new but it went away
S clip unnecessary, it,ll rot the paint , I took em off , no issues at all
if you live in the tropics, those things are almost a requirement.
I put a big deflector on my truck looks great
You just need some jorts and white new balance shoes now Jimmy
I like it and have wanted to get some for my 99 suburban
Looks nice and you would be smart not to go to new
Nothing wrong with the way that suburban looks! I wish my 98 Chevy looked that good.👍
I’m not a Chevy person. However it does look good.
So we SHOULD buy a bug deflector?!
Can we get an update on the full transmission fluid change? Any ill effects? I am thinking about doing the same thing with my car.
Hello Michael, I have no ill effects with my transmission. Shifts like new. But, don’t take my word for it. Please do your research to make sure a fluid change is right for your vehicle.
Do you know where I can get a wiring harness for a 96 chevy k1500 5.7. I know you are more experienced than . Please help.
I’d probably go to the local pick ur part... 🤷♂️
6:26 LMFAO, it would suck if you had manual windows
Go great with my window deflectors
I've got the WeatherTech for liners and window deflectors on my F-250... overpriced but still well worth the money! Have you used any of those solar exhaust vent fans that clips on an open window?🤔
yeahhh.. the body is square, but that is no square body.
Watch for rust I live in az and still suffered from it
It looks very good. I like the look but not always how they are mounted.
If you mount something over painted metal, it will be often rust. dirt colect underneath and rub into paint.
It is important that the plastic also has UV protection, otherwise plastic does not last long in the sun.
So why should I never buy a bug deflector ?
I also wear socks with sandals for the summer!!
