Windows up or down
Guys just want to get a idea on who's for what when tackling gnarly tracks regarding where you have your window up down or in between . You see a lot of guys with them down and hanging outside the cab ;I for 1 am all for window up and using mirrors as I lost a mate crossing a gutter at 5 k /hr when his vehicle rolled and his head was thrown outside the window . Over to you .
U have 4 choices in life :U can like it; lump it; love it or shove it, take your pick and stick to it !

Wheeling or track - windows up or net. Just my opinion.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

I am he, fear me
With very very few exceptions, Up... unless your a redneck, then down is better for the human gene pool.
Came across a dude and his mates one day, years ago now, up in the NT.
Apparently dude was getting his ego massaged by hanging out the window, gunning it and doing doughies etc on the gravel plain when the tyre threw a rock or something up and opened up his scalp like a surgeons knife.
Blood everywhere and no Med Kit or anything, unfortunately he wouldn't let us finish the lobotomy.
I thought it was a waste of good First Aid but the Missus always was a soft touch.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

It depends.
Summer, gale force winds etc up.
If it's nice outside why not enjoy it.
But always seatbelt on..

Dont even think about having the window half up either ,
cause if you fall off a rut or similar it will chop the top of you ear off or worse,
You can always crack open the rear windows if heat or dust is an issue.
Not many 4x4 courses mention this in their training, but common sense I think
We have a track at Tallarook where you can touch the bank with your elbow
