Windshield Mods

$1,379.99, your dignity, and possibly even expulsion from TRUCK GANG.

 

WTF is a grumper?

 

Seriously does Toyota use insanely weak windshields? My wife has 3 chips on her Highlander and I have 2 on my 5 month old Tundra. Not a huge deal I just never had so many chips on my other trucks

 

Just ordered mine, pick it up at 4WP on Monday.
Pics to follow.

 

Is this for realz?

 

What, the windshield cowl, or that I ordered one?
Yes its a thing, no I didn't really order one.
We're all just ribbing the OP.

@CJoseph, you made the wise decision to buy a Tundra, so we'll just chalk this up to mod-fever and move on.
If you need any advice or help this is the place to be.
Welcome and congrats on the new truck!

 

To each their own, the grumpers look just as fugly as this shit Grumpers make normal Jeeps actually look good then

 

I thought it meant angry bumper, I’d be angry after buying it, but it’s a grill, winch, bumper combination.

Again, I don’t think these things look good individually, but if you go all out they tie together and can look ok. More of show to me.

 

Luckily they don't make the ViCowl for the Tundra, but if I had a Jeep I'd definitely consider a grumper.
It actually makes sense if you want to run a winch and have max approach angle and max front end protection.
I probably wouldn't put one on a daily driven commuter Jeep, but on a dedicated off-road vehicle its pretty sweet.

 

Seems like it would go perfect with one of those front end jacked way the fuck up trucks.

SPP

 

@CJoseph Lets see some pics of the truck though!

Welcome to the forums.

 

It's that newer-ish Yota glass. Super weak. My cousin was eating chik fil a lounging in a 2016 Lexus LX passenger seat. His socked foot (no shoe) lightly pressed against the windshield and the glass fractured like it was hit by an 80mph baseball.

 

Why? You don't like your tunny looking like a Buck Roger's spaceship?

 

Ah fab four, they have some interesting builds.

I kinda dig the F250 they built, but I'm afraid I'd use the word "bro" very frequently during conversations.

 

I think its actual purpose is to catch fallen leaves and other biological debris, to further insulate the cab.. plus, where else on these trucks do you suggest the birds build their nests??

 

By the time you add all that totally useless weight you might be able to carry a dozen donuts without exceeding load limit......

 

Poor guy might even have to settle for plain glazed as well, jelly or custard filled would push it over the top.

 

Doesn't this violate windshield obstructions laws?

New Jersey prohibits windshield obstructions under 39:3-74 : "No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster, sticker or other non-transparent material upon the front windshield, wings, deflectors, side shields, corner lights adjoining windshield or front side windows of such vehicle other than a certificate or other article required to be so displayed by statute or by regulations of the commissioner. No person shall drive any vehicle so constructed, equipped or loaded as to unduly interfere with the driver's vision to the front and to the sides.".[6]

Examples of violations include items hanging from the rear view mirror such as religious objects, fuzzy dice, air fresheners, or electronic devices.[7] Electronic toll collection equipment such as E-ZPass transponders can also be considered a violation by law enforcement.[8]

Ideally, a windshield obstruction summons is issued in lieu of a more serious traffic infraction which would have incurred points and raised insurance costs, such as speeding or running a red light. However, unlike in other states, it can be issued without any other cause or suspicion.[9]

 

Probably states it's "For off-road use only" therefore bypassing the laws. Same as with aftermarket color bulbs and those old tinted headlight covers from 2005.

 

Can you imagine what it'd do for your tow rating ! Oh the kittens that would die.

 

That setup would be perfect for viewing the Perseid meteor shower this August.....would suck tho with that Vicowl thing a ma bob...

 

C4 Overland

Or Expedition 1, front and rear.

 

Prolly violates obscenity laws.....

 

If I was a LEO and saw that Vicowl windshield nonsense.....my lights would be on so f'ing fast.....

 

A Zombie Apocolypse is the only way, otherwise nope.

 

This belongs on Nick Cannon's Tundra... lol https://youtu.be/hpftH3-TM8I

 

Good choice to not get it.

And welcome from Virginia!
