I am an autoglass tech, the windshield in your truck is a very important safety feature. Expecially if you have a sunroof or a ragtop the windshield adds alot of rigidity, if you drive the truck on the road i would not replace glass with plexi. If your truck has airbags (safety kind) the windshield is there to deflect them in the right direction, if you have plexi the air bags would blow it out.

don't plan on having a lexan windshield if you live somewhere that sees snow. First time you go to scrape the snow or ice off, your going to scratch the lexan all to hell. It's good because it's strong but its bad because it's soft
