Just need a few toggles and zip ties to finish up, and we're not sure if the VHF transmits since it didn't work last time we raced, so there's some troubleshooting to be done there. Got the GPS, radio, intercom and dust light installed. Richard was working on the lexan windshield when I left. Ed #2 showed up and we charged up his shocks, and we talked a bit about GoPros. I was just going to bring a charger and a bunch of batteries for mine, but now I'm thinking about "hardwiring" it through a cigarette lighter adapter. Should be simple enough.

Looking very good. Like what and how you have done this.

With the windshield in it is real obvious that when the roof was replaced it wasn't put on straight. The driver side is smaller than stock while the passenger side is larger by about the same amount that the driver side is smaller. A stock windshield would not of been able to be modified to fit. I'll try to post some pics later.

Static electricity attraction of dust to the plastic is a primary concern. Not much of an issue for NASCAR Cup weenies, but offroad, even alone by yourself, is a different story. Wiping off rain, snow or mud is yet another.

No worries, I'm riding on the roof so I can keep the windshield and GoPro clean.

JK, we'll deal with it as we have to. Not ideal, but it is what it is for this trip. Thanks Dusty for the input.

Kyle, that means you have to spit guzzoline into the intake when Richard needs a little more oomph too!

The plexus plastic cleaner/polished/antistatic should be a great help in protecting your windshield and keeping it clean.

Considering who all is going on this trip I think Kyle will be spitting a lot of guzzoline just so we can keep up

I still have time to install one of those big poles like in Mad Max
