Driving with the windshield down
On the trail, how safe is it? Are windshield breaks common or can this be done without second thought?
I haven't taken my down yet, but was just thinking about it..never done that before.

Hmm, I don't know if I'd take mine down...because if you end up jerking too hard, it might bump up and down and break...I'd say no, unless there's some type of strap you can buy that will pull it down towards the hood. That'd work just fine...except, don't go behind ur amigo if he's stuck in mud. LOL

I do it on my CJ when I am in front of the pack or by myself and love it. Nothing better than having the wind in your face. Otherwise it is not worth it and make sure you tie the windshield down tight otherwise it will break.

On CJ's, YJ's, and TJ's I put them down all the time. I haven't taken the time to put one down on the JK yet--the main difference is the curved glass. It's fun for the slow-going rockcrawling and gives you great visibility and communication with spotters. Especially in warm weather where a little more airflow feels good. Once you get above 10 mph, it's definitely time to put it back up! I never had one break, and I never bothered tying them down either, though I should say that it is strongly recommended.
