What exactly is a front rock guard and where do you get them. Do they really work?

A quick net search didn't turn up a rock deflector specifically for the FJ. They look something like this smoked one:
 

 
You may want to browse the Bug guards, protective bras & film discussion, but those guys are mostly trying to prevent paint chips.
 
If the rock misses the deflector, it won't help. Lots of people like them though.

Toyota is now selling a rather good looking bug deflector for the FJ. Got my wife one for her TRD-SE as an Xmas present. Haven't been able to install it though, since one bracket was fubar.
 
Still going to lower the deductible on the inssurance - I was at the dealership and there was an FJ there getting his second windshield...

17.1 mpg on PREMIUM fuel?? Thats sickening. You'd spend less on gasoline in a Suburban than this thing!
 
And $1,438 on a new windshield? Thats also ridiculous. Goes to show that even if imports' perceived quality is better, you pay for it dearly in more expensive "maintenance" items like this.

In context, 17.3 MPG overall given the acceleration, weight, towing, and off road excursions seems very acceptable. And I doubt you'd do better in an excursion under the same circumstances.
