Windshield Down?

[southtj]

Does anyone really put their windshields down on their Jeeps? I see it in the ads and it looks cool but is it really practical? Did I read somewhere about some leaking problems after putting it down?

Just wondering.

The leaking problem occurs after you let it down Wrong. there are some adjustment bolts on the bars that are between the Roll and the windshield. If you mess with these it will take the windshield out of factory adjustment and make the top not fit right. Again, In your Video it will show you how to do this and it will expressly tell you which bolts NOT to mess with and why.

If you do this and drive the roads! Wear Goggles and do not smile! Less you like bugs in your teeth. hehehehe Tug

Video??? Am I missing something? I bought my Jeep used and didnt get a video. Where can I get a video for a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport?

 

[southtj]

Ahhhh...on the video. Sounds like it is a wealth of info. Yeah, Tug, I doubt you'd want to go too fast with it down.

But, what is the point really of putting down the windshield? Better visibility offroad?

Great question for mail call!!!

I bet it is for storage or shipping steming from the original GP's. Not to mention they could sneak under tons of stuff with it down. No roll bar no windhield. Just "DUCK GI!!!"

I use mine once in while, mainly farting around in the yard with the daughter, or when its getting hot and no breeze is around.

Of course. Everyone puts the front window down once (just because you can), then Fugget about it.

 

[OutOfStep]

Yeah everyones got to do it at least once . You can get leaks from it if your seals are brittle and shot already and then you put it down, TJ's for the most part shouldn't be old enough for that problem yet though.

I haven't put my sheild down, I keep mine up to protect me from all the green and red juicy invaders that fly in my circle of the universe.

I have a video too, it comes with brand new jeeps from the dealer but I have no idea where you'd get one. I watched mine about three times when I got it and have no idea where it is now. LOL

Ok one stupid question... how did they get the Jeep into the middle of the creek without getting it dirty ?

 

[Inspector-Gadget]

OK, MAGGOTS...KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM AND LISTEN UP!!!

I don't want to discipline your a$$es, but I will if I have to!!!

Here is one reason why military GPs (Jeeps) have folding windshields:

UUUHHH-RAA!!! Serious road-rage!

Oh, and by the way:

If you see a kid pull into the Dairy Queen riding a Vespa like this one...

Be afraid. Be very afraid!

Very Very Slow UTAH, so as not to eat any bugs. They prolly did it with thier eyes and mouths closed so it was slow going!
LMAO

They used a crane,or the crew had some fun in the creek and just cleaned it where she sits.

 

[LadyJeepFreak]

South,

By the way when is your sahara coming in? Can't wait!

Lady

 

[southtj]

I can't wait either Lady. Not only is it my first Jeep but my first truly new car. The last two were both a year old and all the others were about 5 years old. The last I heard it will be here next Monday the 6th.

I'm sure I will let everyone know when it arrives

A muddy face.

 

[LadyJeepFreak]

Well South,

That is not long now indeed! I am excited for you! I know what you mean about new cars, this Jeep of mine is also my first true new car. The newest I had was my last one at a year old program car. IT wasn't truly the car I wanted, it was the only car I could afford at the time.

This is the first time I had taken the time and money to actually buy what I wanted brand new.

You are gonna love your new machine! Congrats!

Lady :lol:

I've taken mine down a couple of times when i go hunting, when you are spotlighting at night and you have the window down you have like a 360* shooting range pretty much, fun but sucks when you get bugs in your face

 

[Snitty]

why??? because its a good feeling... the feeling of being capable of doing it, where as nobody else can... the feeling of driving a really fast go-cart, the wind is great... i've gone on the highway, about 70 mph with the windshield down... some don't like it... but as long as you keep your eyes squinted enough, you can almost tell where you are going
