After. Tubbed both sides of the firewall and added plexiglass windows.

never seen the plexiglass floor like that. arent you worried about throwing a rock up through that or something.

alwayzbroken · « **Reply #34 on:** Nov 03, 2005, 03:34:10 PM »

Not really, It is trail only. I would only be worried about that at highway speeds. The fastest this truck will ever go is 15 m.p.h through the camp ground to the trail entrance.

I just bolted in the plexiglass with small bolts and used washers. Pretty simple. No frame. I just sprayed undercoating in a square so it looked like a square on the inside.

I actually wasn't even thinking about the hiway. Have you ever watched what gets thrown out of a spinning 38" swamper on the trail. It isn't pretty. I have seen rocks bigger than my head go flying out and that wouldn't be cool to hit that plexiglass. I really like the idea though but I personally would go with a stronger type of material.

Curious what your getting out of that plexiglass window?

what are the con's? just being able to look at where your tire placement is? or... ?

I'll just drive with a flak jacket.

I have always wanted to see what was going on underneath the truck. I think it is just cool more than anything. It will be nice to see trail terrain also. If it becomes a problem it won't take long to fill in with sheetmetal.

FJ80 master cylinder with proportioning valve and 3x size power steering reservoir for extra hydro assist fluid capacity.

thats a hudge biotch!

I have since had the truck out and really pounded it on the trail and it has performed flawlessly except it overheats in the mud without a fan shroud. Not a big surprise though.

More damage after this weekend. The truck once again worked excellent with no breakage except for the passenger window glass
