Is this just a poser thing?

Here in New England...you'd get a mouth full of leaves!!!

Driving around town it looks pretty cool. Out on the trail is where it really comes in handy though. Putting the windshield down keeps the glass safer. But if you want to really keep the glass from getting destroyed then just replacethe hinges with the 'quick release' kind and leave the windshield frame where you left the doors (on the trailer, back at camp, etc.)
This is all well and good, but it kind of goes without saying that any windshield movement should only be done if you are running a front cage...

Here in TX, I like to shoot things in the road from the drivers seat. :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :D

If you get into mud it sucks though.

But don't be too concerned. You have time to swerve while they are putting down their :beer: .... :D :D

I am with Shrock. I got tired of the bullet holes in the glass, so I got the fold-down kit.

Do you need the fold down kit or is this something different all together havent heard of it or seen it WOULD LIKE IT THOUGH:D

I hope it's not a poser thing.. I fold mine down all the time, and I am 1 state north from CT.. Get plenty hot here often enough, besides people give you the dumbest looks, I even have the quick release hinges and tend to leave my winshield, doors and targa bar home quite a bit.

i do on my rover in new england, mostly cause that all steel interior can pump a lot of heat into the cab! and also cause it looks cool, and better sight lines.

Hey Mud,

Sorry for not getting back to this one yet, but I actually didn't do the modification myself (this time). I picked up a set from Figmo at Roadless Gear. He takes the stock hinge (well, stock for everyone outside of the US...), taps out the pin, drills the hinge for a quick release pin and Viola! Real slick. I DO like the aluminum version Trail Tough has, but I got these before Brent finished his version.

Here is a shot from Figmo's site, I don't have any good shots of mine yet.

There will be an article at iZook about these in the next issue.

Around here, you'd get a mouth full of leaves as well, but it beats sacrificing your windshield to the tree gods! We all take the windshield completely off if possible around here. The cage hoop will keep most of the branches out of your face. :D

I likey those aluminum QR hinges...:D

you get your shit stolen if you take it off around here! On the other hand my 82 sj410 comes stock with hinges:D

Sorry John Work was very busy today. I have a fold down windshield kit, and then I just unscrew the one bolt on the bodyside of the hinge.

This is my windshield:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

I guess some limb risers would save the shield!!??
