RE: I do have one major complaint ...
I took a rock across the hood and into the windshield at 2,500 miles. I was so pissed but oh well, that's the way it goes. My CJ taught me years ago that a flat windshield attracts rocks like Key West attracts ****. It's just something you have to live with on this type of vehicle. When it gets too bad I'll get my insurance to replace it. In FLA it's a freebie replacement if the chip is anywhere the wipers cover.

I think it has to do with the driver.... I've never cracked or chipped a windshield in 16 years of licensed driving..... now, granted I only drive 65,000-70,000 miles a year....

The drive from NJ to RI and backon 95 has me go through at least 5 construction zones so there are tons of rocks and gravel bits all over the road to be thrown in my face.

You're right, I am sure it is me - I have a history of attracting crap

I got my first chip at 524miles and the 2nd at 2,200 miles. The other day I heard the loud pop of another but it was nowhere to be found. It makes me sick each time.
My insurance is great. It is on comprehensive and they send a guy out and I sign a piece of paper and doesn't cost me a thing. No limit on how many each year either. Guess they think its easier than replacing it. I use Shelter insurance.
