Is it worth the peace-of-mind it might provide for a long overlanding journey?

no worries. My wife says I don’t make sense either. Like when I just upgraded my perfectly good 35s for 37s. Made total sense to me. And nice to meet a fellow PA Jeeper! I would love to take a trip like that in my Gladiator.That makes perfect sense, but as my wife would attest to...I don't always makes sense. Just thinking if I'm 400-500 miles from the nearest Jeep dealership and my windshield breaks....in northern AK or Canada. Wanted know if there was anyone that has installed it and used in circumstances in which I may find myself. Was it worth the cost? BTW...thanks fellow PA resident.
Here you go:The problem is, it doesn’t exist yet for the JL/JT. I looked into it after breaking my windshield a couple of weeks ago with like 1,500 miles on my truck. Best way to avoid chips is don’t get behind large trucks on the road and stay off the highway (gas mileage sucks on the highway anyway due to our lack of aerodynamics).
After replacing my windshield with a new Mopar one, I found 3 little pits on it within a week. So, a few months ago I installed Racing Optics protective film on my windshield. It has 3 layers with 2 tear offs. It has been used in racing for years. Optically, it is fantastic, and I am super excited about the protection. It also seems super hard to scratch. I have already heard some big hits on the windshield with no cracking or pitting. So far, I am super happy. Here is a link to my install and pics. I think it is fantastic and the peace of mind is great ! Plus, you keep the stock Mopar windshield. The technical help and explanations at Racing Optics Jeep are 1st rate.Is it worth the peace-of-mind it might provide for a long overlanding journey?
I get mine today. The way I justified it, save the windshield once and it's paid for itself. $199 and had great reviews. I have had several Wranglers w/ chips and cracks in the windshield. It would be nice to save this factory one.After replacing my windshield with a new Mopar one, I found 3 little pits on it within a week.
