Yup - tosses the rock forward and you drive into it. Happened to me, luckily it hit the hood first and put a chip/dent in the hood then just brushed the windshield and landed next to the base of the left wiper arm.Your tires can carry rocks in the tread and you can actually hit your windshield fr9m a rock thrown by your jeep.
That depends................. OEM MOPAR, OEM MOPAR Gorilla Glass, after-market replacement windshield, after-market replacement Gorilla Glass windshield..What's a new windshield cost these days?

We’ll that would explain how the rock came out of no wear. It hit hard at only 35 mph, but I have noticed I can even hear bugs when they hit sometimes on the interstate with this vertical windshield. I have stock overland all season tires on her but they do pick up a lot rocks. Hell I pick them out sometimes. Tell me that’s not OCD .Yup - tosses the rock forward and you drive into it.

Well I hope you didn't jinx yourself. 10 years is an amazing stretch. Maybe you live somewhere without much traffic?I'm probably once again jinxing myself, but we've had jeeps for 10 years (minus 2 years in the middle somewhere), and never a broken windshield....
I'll be back later when I inevitably have to eat my words.
Jinxing is a hoax! haha. But i'm in the same situation. Longer than 10-11 years no chips or cracks, plenty of driving.Well I hope you didn't jinx yourself. 10 years is an amazing stretch. Maybe you live somewhere without much traffic?
