JR,
I see that you have all the parts in place to lower the windshield on this Sami.  Do you ever lower it?  I'm trying to get a rough idea of what parts I want to have when I get a Sami and what parts are going to be a waste of time.
Rob

Rob, yes I sure do lower it.  It all depends on the weather of course; Colorado was a little too cool and rainy.

I really like it folded down on slower traiils and I've driven it around small town Oklahoma with it down.  Above, 30 mph...the appeal starts to dwindle.  Too much wind. 

You could always unbolt it first to see how you like it.

Thanks Jonny.  I rember riding in our old jeeps with it folded down.  As a kid, I always wanted it down so we could feel all of the wind; my parents, not so much.

FWIW, I folded it down at the 2011 Moab Zukfari (different Samurai).  

I really don't trust the flimsy buckle strap that comes with the kit though and I use a rachet strap to hold the windshield down (anchored at the grab bar and bumper).  That way it doesn't bounce on the hood and there isn't any chance of the buckle breaking and/or the hood or windshield to come flying up.  

I've driven my Jeep with the windshield down at speeds from 1-65 mph.  It is windy but pleasant up to about 40 mph.  Above that is it tolerable if you like wind.  I've taken on the expressway for a couple of miles.  

There are way too many bugs/hoppers in Nebraska to fold it for anything more than 15-20mph.  Still, off-road in Moab it would be awesome to have it folded and the doors off.  Just need a safary type of top to keep the sun off of you.

Finished going through my 2000+ pics tonight!  Here are the 35 that I picked as the best ones (photobucket album, since I didn't feel like copying all of the IMG tags):

Great photos Sewerzuk but I have to ask where was this one taken?

That house on the top is awsome.  What a view.

You don't have them all labeled what pass/trail were you on where you took all of these?

Awsome shots.

Really nice pictures, sewerzuk.  It makes me sad I didn't make the trip.  I have wanted to explore that area of Colorado for a long time.

Awsome shots.

They are all from different trails and towns; we did Tin Cup Pass, St. Elmo, Mt. Antero, Italian Creek, Black Bear Pass from Ouray to Telluride, and Schoffield Pass including the towns of Gothic, Marble, and Crystal City. 
The pic you are asking about is actually a power station for a mining camp.  It sits on top of Bridal Veil Falls, above Telluride. 

I love the pictures!  I keep making various pictures from the group my desktop background on my computer.

Contractors showing off from all the work. Looks good Matt. I would have liked to have gone.

Here is a link to the rest of the pics from the trip (over 700 of them).  I took about 1/2 of them, the rest are ones that I picked through from other people on the trip:

Some great pics there. Kinda wish I would have went on the Ouray run with ya, but my Zuk doesn't run down the highway very fast.

Thanks SewerZuk.  Those are great!
