Any good companies to order plexiglass through in the Midwest? Preferably tinted
Make sure to get margard lexan and not just plexi if possible. Not all glass can legally be replaced with lexan though. I am sure you already know but it is worth mentioning every time these threads pop up.
I did the back and side glass on my old 2wd truck, all bolted in. Bought a sheet of tinted lexan about 3/16 thick if I remember. Turned out good but then I started thinking in a wreck and trapped in the truck that lexan is tough, dam near unbreakable. I took a peice of the left over sheet and tried to break it, ain't gonna happen.
Some guys run plexiglass on the driver side window for that reason. Although i think your natural reaction when your upside down and on fire wont be to break the window but try to open the door. Either way if your at a safe track the rescue team should be to you by the time you get your belts off anyways
It would suck to build a truck that REQUIRES an extraction team to get you out if there is a wreck... What if the equipment fails or for some reason the team can't get to you??? I'd rather build a truck that I can get out of on my own than count on the rescue team to get me out...
