I carried my beat to crud broken up old windshield into my local glass shop and they cut me a new one for I think around 70-80 dollars
No difference in quality Rob! (Based on my experience.)
But I didn't find much difference in price either. (OEM was very cheap here too!)
I bought OEM and was disappointed to find bubbles within the plastic-material (sandwiched between the inner and outer glass layers) on the corners.

i had one cut by local glass place out of tinted glass. it is a real lite tint but sure helped cut down on glare during the day and bright head lights at night. cost me about $130.00 installed with warranty.

My OEM (original one) has some wiper scratches from the PO's neglect in changing blades. Had a mobile glass co come out to my house, cut and fitted a tinted new one for $135.00 in my driveway. The original Toyota one is tinted too, BTW.

Focus on the Journey
Wow! The last OEM I bought was $120, but then that was maybe 12 years ago. I called the local dealer and was quoted $342. I would go to a local auto glass shop.
OEM from toyotapartscenter.net is $273.
I like Binswanger,life time guar. backed nationwide. Mike
there is a place called cruiser crazy listed on e-bay that is selling windshields for $99. I hope that helps
OE glass has gone through the roof. I have purchased 50+ of them over the past 10 years at $47 a pop, then I ordered one for my '81 resto to take it in the pooper for huge dough.
In fact every one I bought came in it's own shipping box that I stuffed a seal in and then shipped it out UPS. Never had one break and I had the niche there for a while as no one would ship glass. Now they are stupid $$$$ and no longer come in the box that costs more than the glass.

Use solar tint if available, do NOT use clear.

That guy and CCOT I cant stand for the fact that they state they are the first to produce something or it's exclusive to them and they are years behind, Tools!
Just saying.

Something is dramatically wrong with the OEM quotes listed above - BJ42 is exactly the same as a 40 frame correct?
I have a brand new one I picked up from my local dealer - with 20% discount last year (have yet to install). Paid around $90 or less! Bought one from the same folks a dozen years ago and it was about $70 or less. Something is way wrong with whomever you're talking to - or maybe I've accidently opened the 80 series link or something?

Looking forward to reach the end of the world
I shopped my windshield in early this summer (BJ42 frame off resto).
Several thread about that talk about a very good and cheap price. I was surprised (and disappointed) to learn that prices climbed since...
I did not have the old windshield to be able to do take mesurement and cut at the shop. I did not want, particularly, have a problem with a afthermarket ''code from the book''.
I bought my OEM windshield (56111-90303) to make sure...
List: 228.30
My cost: 194.06
this is not a ''who have the better price contest ! !!''
... Montréal area.
at this time ... I only wish that the excellent reputation TOYOTA GENUINE PARTS worth that price !

That just plain sucks - does this mean I should put this glass in the pile of OEM parts too rare or good to go on a trail truck
