Here’s my dilemma and question:

My first Roxor winter is fast approaching. I live in South GA where temps are very mild. I use my Rox as a buggy for my trapping business. I will be traveling on the roads for up to fifty miles one way and still occasionally riding around with my kids on nice days. For those of you with Jeep and Roxor experience, how miserable would I be to just have a windshield (already in use), hard half doors, and a rear window assembly (probably a soft version with roll up window) in conjunction with my bikini top? There will still be two large openings on the sides, but how much cold wind will be whipping through? I’d obviously dress in full winter clothing and ski mask.

I use my small business to pay for the thing, and will pay it off this year. If the minds here don’t think I’ll be comfy enough, I’ll just save up for the Rallytop and purchase it before next winter. Thanks in advance!

It depends on how you handle the cold. I think if you bundle up with a scarf or something to cover your face and hands you should be fine.

2018 roxor in mountains of Colorado. My top in winter is light plywood - summer canvas. Doors bottom half 3/8 plywood. Behind seats floor to roll bar year round plywood. I use the YJ jeep ( best ever) canvas door tops, 1 pair no frames about $122 ?, with frames each $179 ?, frames are easy to make. Look at a YJ and you will see. To fill in at top of door and behind door I used clear acrylic or aluminum roof valley flashing, held in place with screws or zip ties. After 2 winters I did put a heater in. Enjoy

"Rear window question" can relate to inquiries concerning the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock movie, the rear here free window sticker of a car, or even a particular query you may have. Plot points (such as the murder mystery), character analysis (particularly of L.B. "Jeff" Jefferies, Lisa, and Stella), thematic interpretations (such as marriage, voyeurism, and societal roles), and technical elements (such as cinematography) are common themes for the movie. One might wonder why certain rear windows on an automobile don't go all the way down; this is frequently because of design limitations like the rear wheel arch.

At the moment I have a Fortress Top and Fortress Windshield, as well as a Hard Cabs Rear Bulkhead. No Doors and No Heater.
At around $700 Plus Shipping I am not all that impressed with any ones after Market Roxor Half Doors so far.
I have been drawing the line at 55 degrees driving 15 Miles to town.
Things get more miserable if you are driving with a stiff Side Wind.
I am sure that Half Doors will help a lot keeping more cold wind off of you.

I am in the process of changing my Windshield from the Fortress to a Jeep YJ. This will not help with the cold much. I am however planning on a new Cowl to Lower Windshield Seal as well as a new Hard Top Roof to Windshield Seal. That should help with wind a little as well as keeping rain out.

I am also working on Jeep YJ Half Doors with Canvas uppers to seal it up. When I get to this point, a Heater will start doing some good.

Good Luck
