I agree with Chasetruck754, your are just gonna have to spend alot to get "great glass". I have personally only mounted McNiel, Fiberwerx and Autofab. Hands down the best fit and finish was autofab. I however like the style of McNeil and Fiberwerx better. I have just had to get over it. Good from far, far from good. Its just gonna get thrash it anyway. I have a love hate relationship with my new 6" bedsides. I love the vents and the overall shape just dont like the excesive flat top. Changing the front glass to match it better will problably make me happeir though. Your welcome to comeover and check them out if you are around north county san diego.

Tanner, we could chop them down for you for a pretty fair price. When we do that type of work we need the truck though. It's not quite as easy as chopping 10 inches off of them.

This is some very new news regarding Fiberwerx. We will no longer be manufacturing fiberglass in Tijuana. Our new 33,000 sq ft facility west of Tecate is really going to change the game for us.

Wellll the cage is still coming along. Not to worried about how fast the builds going since its looking like ill be in England from around August to the middle ish of December for work. So doesn't make much sense making Jeff hurry on my truck when I won't even be here haha. Hopefully the truck will be %100 percent done when I'm home. Interior/paint ect all the little things done. That would be cool to come home too

Don't feel bad - the glue in ones never seem to come out in one piece. Even after you buy the expensive specialty tool to cut them out...

Yeah we had the little tool and it was insanely hard to cut through the glue type stuff. But the window had a small crack from a rock anyways so no big deal

I think they are designed to break..
Mine came out in 1 piece, but split after it was time to re-install.

He's right, the specialty hook n cable tool is crap for old glue, everyone I've tried has also broke, the newer chevy's have a wider glue band and are very hard to get out without breaking, the best tool for that I've seen looks like a garrat ( how ever u spell it, the French piano wire chokie thingy off the old movies) anyway it takes 2 people and some rhythm but u play lumberjack with a cable saw of sorts. Me I just pay the window guy 50$ or bust out the old sawsall. Why spend extra time bound for failure. Don't forget the safety glasses and gloves don't hurt either.

Sadly I might be selling this thing. I won't part it out and if it doesn't sell ill finish it but my grandma is selling her house because she can't afford to big in auch a big house by her self and the house has a lot of sentimental value to myself and my parents since my grandpa just passed away a few years ago so my parents and I want to buy it so I might need to sell this to put money towards it

Why not part it out? If you NEED the cash parting it will get you more than selling complete typically. And a house deal like the one you mentioned is a decent reason to drop a project & pick it back up later. I've recently been doing the same thing.

DONT SELL IT!

Honestly you could make more selling your highend parts than you will for the whole package. Then finish a nice basic C&T build with keeping it simple. You can have your house and something fun!

There all telling u the truth, just sell the high end parts, you can put it together a bit more mildly get your maximum return a have your bronc and a fair amount to put toward the house. Completed it worth less than the parts seperate in most cases.
