Hey Guys:
I'm looking to add a windshield and aftermarket roof to my 2018 Mule Pro FXT and wanted some insight.
Fortress and Essex both make the DOT glass windshields and I'm curious if anyone familiar with both windshields can share some details.
As for a roof, I'm looking for a replacement for the factory roof and would want the light bar option (front) with the mounted switches and a cab down light. Not interested in a radio set up.
The Texas Outdoor's/Ranch Armour roofs are definitely a consideration.
Thoughts?

Ranch armor tops, your options are endless
Think Essex is no more. I have fortress windshield and roof. Love the windshield and top is a good top
Note*** if you get windshield and top you will need HD springs
If you are close to TXoutdoors I’d just take it to him and have him do everything personally. He is a fortress dealer

Kawasaki of Irving where I got my mule recommended the Essex. They would know if still in business. I went with the fortress tip out. Have no bad experiences. It does rattle a bit on year two but just need to adjust the mechanism.
I'm still running a factory to of that I bought off of someone that had replaced it. Works fine and keeps me dry. Keep looking at the aftermarket versions. Look at triple c welding in cleburne. They have some standard designs and will customize it for you. Also look at eaglemtx for or fortress for an off the shelf roof.

I have a 2018 Pro FXT as well and had Kawasaki of Iriving install the Fortress roof when I bought. The roof has performed well and allows you to stand on it to fill feeders if needed. I bought an aftermarket flip down windshield off Amazon that has also performed well.

Sheet of Aluminum 0.183 and u-bolts for the roof. $250.
I had my patience tested... I'm negative.
