Removable Windshield
Does anyone happen to know about a renmovable windshield for our trucks? I'd like to be able to take it out when I hit the dirt.

Found out that 89's have a gasket style like the rear window. Anyone have any idea if the older windshield is the same as the 89-95 trucks.
|
our 85 was a "glue on" style. No gasket

FW623 - gasket type, '89-91 trucks FW598 - glue-in type, '89-'95 trucks FW471 - glue-in type, '84-'88 trucks FW397 - gasket type, '79-'83 trucks |
Looks like I am SOL

I have never ever seen a gasket type windshield on an 89 in America. Methinks no one else will either ;)

the internet always has everything lol

Well sumbitch....talk about rare.
|
how about a lexan windshield. i just put one in my 88. i had a glass company cut the lexan and i installed it with 4 screws.
|
That's a good idea, how much did it run you?
I dont need it to be quiet, and I'd like to easily take it out when I hit the dirt, sounds like my best bet. |
Dust is not an issue for you?
|
My interior is as bare bones as it gets, dust would be an issue if I was out just having a good time, thus the need for the windshield.
But my truck is designed to race and it and in those conditions, a glass windshield is just too likely to get shattered. |

Lexan it is.
|
If you go lexan, it's bullet proof! You don't need to worry about taking it out. Unless it's for weight control.
Your racing class doesn't require a windshield?? Weird! If you run the 1/4" you will be that much more protected from rock and debris off the truck that may be infront of you at some point. Although, I know your plan is to be way out in the lead! :) lol Good Luck! I was just asking someone else about lexan for these trucks last week. He hadn't heard of it. |
Travisfab, sorry for dragging an old thread up, and you probably handled it but heres a guy on pirate with a cheapy removable. Maybe just pick his brain and make your own. Nice truck! Cheers!
