Looks almost like my exact build, just waiting on hard top....
I originally ordered mine with the MIC but i switched so i could get it before i left and it came just in time. I passed one on the back of a car hauler in Montana but it was dark so i couldn’t get a picture.

Congrats buddy! Very close to the same build as you. I also am planning on going to Badlands once I get mine. I am moving to NC in Nov. (Waynesville & Burnsville). Where are you located? In the meantime, enjoy!!

It honestly could of been one of the giant bugs that that i hit. Once i seen the angle of the windshield i knew i was going to have issues with cracks. They don’t deflect they just hit straight on.
get one of these hood protectors installed .... (not the smooth ones but the ones with a lip on it) at speed it creates an upward air flow that pushes most bugs over the roof.

the vertical windshield is a bug magnet and the first 2 weeks the glass was peppered with dead bugs .... installed a protector and i can see the results now on the 3rd week .... night n day

Unfortunately I think this is going to be a common problem :(

The moisture is gone or not noticeable anymore but i made sure to get pictures just incase. I wish i had more time for stops along the way but I’m sure ill find some awesome trails out here in Washington
Not supose to be normal. That moisture will start turning in yellow the headlight with time. Go to your dealer and they should replace them.

I would make sure that claims do not effect your rates beforehand & how many claims before they do. Windshields are relatively cheap vice an ongoing rate increase. ;)

Took delivery on October 5th and headed out on my cross country move 5 days later. Drove from NC to WA. 5 days almost 3000 miles. My 13 year old daughter and 2 50-60lbs dogs rode with me.

I gotta say it handled amazing and it was such a comfortable ride. I averaged between 17-18mpg. ECO mode didn’t really seem to make a difference between normal mode. I kept the same average mpg in both modes.

The road noise with the soft top wasn’t too terrible except coming across SD when the winds were gusting at 65mph.

It was raining one of the days and everything inside stayed dry. I did notice some moisture building up in the headlights so I’m gonna have the dealer check that out and see what they will do about it and i caught a rock to the windshield and now have a nice crack that is spreading more everyday.

I was excited to drive thru the Badlands national park and get a few pictures of my Badlands in the Badlands lol. I drove thru snow heading up the mountain to Mount Rushmore and coming across Wyoming. The snow wasn’t bad it was the black ice once the sun went down and i had a oh sh@t moment when i went sideways… it handled it very well i was just lucky there were no cars coming the other way.

Overall it was a great trip with only a few minor hiccups. I do wish there was more cup holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice rig and road trip, that rock on the windshield sucks. Welcome to WA. If you're in the dry eastside, stay cool, if on the wet westside, stay dry 😂.
