Answer 2

Here is the actual law... you interpret it!

Windshields: Exception

26700.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), a passenger vehicle, other than a motorcycle, and every bus, motortruck or truck tractor, and every firetruck, fire engine or other fire apparatus, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be equipped with an adequate windshield.

(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any vehicle issued identification plates pursuant to Section 5004 which was not required to be equipped with a windshield at the time it was first sold or registered under the laws of this state, another state, or foreign jurisdiction.

Amended Ch. 222, Stats. 1983. Effective January 1, 1984.

** The law states you have to have a properly equipped windshield, right? Well your jeep has a windshield!!!! This is boils down to interpretation!!! I would recommend you ask your local authorities!!!!!

No. Because you would have no protection against objects flying into your eyes.
