Default Trails...And Glass.

hey guys,
i have a quick question and want to get some different opinions from you all..
when out on the trails, how are you guys protecting the glass behind the passenger door (4 doors).. im in process of a jeep build.. (mild trails/dd) and was wondering if there is any way to protect the glass from trees when sliding around on those wet rocks.. i really dont want to do a exo, but just a generalized question. help me out!

I've never really seen that being a point to blow out on a rock, not to say it couldn't happen. Is there a particular obstical in mind that people kiss the glass in your area?

My heep has been on its side, roof and up against many tress and rocks and have only broke one wing window. Those damn things are pretty resilient.

A WINCH, spare parts, tools, hi-lift, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, full size spare, & straps! That's the list! oh also at least 1 quart of each type of oil in your jeep, & enough water to refill you radiator!!!

It kinda depends on what trails you run, but that's the very least I roll with!

A friend of mine builds armor .for that, its a plate maybe 3x18 that bolts under the window with a piece of tube that runs across it. Perfect for that.
