Most of rock chips are from following too close. I’ve had a number of jeeps and only had one windshield issue, my fault. Being straight up and down does catch more road crap burg that has always been a Jeep thing.
I'm sorry, but the "commutors" and 4-door soccer moms that rack up thousands of miles on their Jeeps every year are probably the reason the Wrangler's even still around today. It just makes sense that someone driving over 10,000 miles a year in their Wrangler will encounter far more stones and cracked windshields versus a fair-weather Jeeper that only takes theirs out twice a month for Sunday brunch during the summer (nothing wrong with that either).
No reason to be sorry. The reality is what it is. Jeep is a big business because of all the foo-foo features combined with the iconic look of ruggedness.I'm sorry, but the "commutors" and 4-door soccer moms that rack up thousands of miles on their Jeeps every year are probably the reason the Wrangler's even still around today.

With 27 trims across the JL and JT, there's really no reason that any of that shit should be on the base Sport or Willys. And buddy, that's your exhaust pipe, not a prostate heater
Exactly. In some parts of the country it's less likely, but if you're playing around mountains and multi-lane highways, you're going to bust a windshield. It's just a matter of time.
A gnat is not what you're thinking. It was a GNAT- Giant Nutty Airborne Turd. That could definitely crack a windshield. I mean, it even came from a crack!
When I do get my front windshield replaced eventually, I honestly already plan on finding someone who will be willing to install a decent thickness sheet of polycarbonate. Sure it might be a few thousand dollars, but the thing will last through the apocalypse!
My son had a YJ in high school. He and his buddies would drive around downtown, windshield down with ski goggles on. One time a cop pulled up next to them, looked over, called them idiots and drove off. Made me miss being young and stupid, haha.
I cant wait for my $.32
