Xingu

[TEakins]

Does anyone have any idea how I could source a military windshield frame like used on the Xingu? TIA

Do you think that was from the factory or a motor pool job?

They would have probably had to limit the travel on the one and only wiper blade ???

When I googled Xingu Landcruisers I saw different variations of the split front windshield, so my guess is each one was custom home made. Some had same size glass in both halfs, some with wiper blade on both half, some with larger gap between both halfs??

Ted, that's something we would need to make by cutting up 1 or 2 windshield frames. Then it could go to the glass shop for custom cut "army jeep" windshield glass & generic weatherstrip.

Do you have a source for an auto .50 cal?

OpSec guidelines prevent discussing armament specifics.

What would that have been for - shooting through the gap? Seems pointless unless the glass is armoured.

I think the large machine gun or a recoilless rifle would lay down in the windshield slot in transit.

That would be cool. I would like to do something like that after I get it modified and put the soft top on come Spring. It will come home from the vinyl wrap tomorrow prolly and then I have to put all the hinges, doors, etc. back on. Then the black-out lights and other accessories.
I will start sourcing a couple of windshields. I guess one of them would have to be the older style with the wipers on top. The other could be the newer style to harvest some long lengths from(?). LMK if you have any you need to get rid of.

Funny thing about that picture. If you zoom in the passenger is actually on his iPhone !!

And it’s being towed, hopefully not by a Jeep.

Rat patrol. On rat poison.

Do you have a picture? I found this Jeep vehicle for sale in Brazil with a safari windshield. ($13,000 USD)
