CJ windshield frame, Crusty style

[CrustyJeep]

I didn't get the glass done for the weekend, so we went wheeling without it :redneck:
It worked perfect. I didn't abuse it too hard, but it ties nicely to the cage and seemed very rigid when *cough* accidently *cough* rubbing a tree. I'm pretty happy with it

It gives the rig a more agressive look IMO, because of the inclined side.

Awww, that primer was less than 24 hours old :booo: :flipoff:

Crusty,
Did you re-install the windshield defrost vents?
Was thinking about how you did the bottom, and it still should be conducive to utilizing defrost. Plus you should be able to re-use the bottom foam seal under the frame too.

Should be possible, but no, I didn't do anything to address defrost vents since they don't do jack unless you have a top and doors :redneck:

I'm actually planning to rip out the giant stock heater box and replace it with a smaller floor heat only unit.

Well after this thing sat in the glass shop all week I was getting really worried they were gonna end up dropping the ball on us, but they got it done at 5:30 this afternoon

Everything went right together and it's ready to have the crap wheeled out of it during/after the cleanup tomorrow :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I hope it doesn't rain hard though because I had no chance to get a bikini top cobbled together...
