Magoo - a lot of pent up agression there don't ya think? Are you dealing with an inferiority complex?

Aside from the increased visibility and sense of freedom that it gives, it also looks way cool :cool: especially with a roll cage.

My sentiments exactly. There is nothing quite like wheeling with it down.

oddly, 40's seemed to be shiped with the window up, but in the case of the 45's(and 40 soft top) the tops, doors ect were in the box in the bed.

roll bars were not used in most markets besides NA it seems, even in the 80's.

Me I can't drive even with glasses over 30mph with the window down, but damn it looks cool :D
 
Looking at the photos of Pimps why don't we see way more 45's running around? Are those photo's taken in Long Beach or some where else?
 
prolly in Japan at the port, they are 75+ so they were not headed to the US, if I were to guess I would say going to the middle east.

I don't run a windshield at all. When I did have one, I ruined it every time I went out.

As for driving on the street without a windshield, I just squint and blink alot. :D

Can you fold the windshield down if you have a Safari Snorkle? Been thinking of getting one, but I do like the idea of being able to fold down the windshield....
 
i don't think you can do it with a safari because of where they mount...i'm trying to figure out a decent snorkle setup that will still allow me to drop the windshield without the upper part of the snorkle swaying in the wind.

this is true
 
I used to drive with mine down all the time. I've also broken the glass that way twice. Good hard bumps cause the glass( and/or maybe the frame ) to bow and crack! Time to buy a new windshield. Now days I drive as fast on dirt roads as I ever could on pavement so the windshield stays up till I get to whatever trail we're gonna be playin on, then I put it down.
 
fold it down once and broke the 2 windshield hinge pin because the stupid P.O.
never did it. The hinge bolts turns but it looks like there is no more threads. There is just no way to remove them.Even after that, I will have to make a hole in the whindshield frame to put new threaded plates or nuts. This is gonna be a PITA to repair :mad:
