Well there were a few moments when I was ready to take the dang thing to a shop but I'm happy to say I finally got the glass in without breaking...
Yeah it does help I guess, knowing I'm on the right track and it's just a PITA. Have to see how it goes once the opening is a little bigger....
Both the frame and the glass are deff '75. The glass is 15" tall measured in the center and from lip to lip inside the new frame is 15-1/4" which...
I put a WTB '75 windshield ad on craigslist and ended up some nice jeep guy gave me a brand new one he's had for awhile that was the wrong year...
Can't think of the name of the place but I got a decent used one from a place out east for my '75 which actually fit the holes in my '75 frame...
I believe aalison is right. My beater'75 has torx screws (original) but the used glass body I bought had phillips screws in the hinges. Either way...
All is not answered in the tech section. Obviously you didn't understand my question. I'm well aware that I can put a '76 windshield frame on a...
I am trying to decide which way to go on my '75 build. Now I realize the windshields changed after 1975 but what I would like to know is if I put...
Does anyone know where to get a gas filler for a '75 CJ? All I can seem to find is the later ones that are sunken into the body. Mine has a simple...
Thanks for the input and the link! PM'd you aallison
Does anyone know who sells replacement windshield hinges for a '75 style frame? I can't seem to find anywhere. A related question would be can I...
As pretty much everyone else already said, unless we know what you want your jeep to accomplish, it's hard to tell you how to build it. Also as...
Congrats on the jeep and the wife! '75 was a good year imo...The front axle is a D30 and the rear is a D44. They probably have 3.73 gears in them...
Thats going to vary based on the make of tire, amount of air pressure, and spring sag. I'm guessing even with stock cj's of the same year with the...
I know the frames are different but is the glass the same on a '79 as it is on a '75?
As long as everything is put together well and aligned, the outboarding itself shouldn't pose any problems that I've ever heard of. I'm in the...
Just curious J.McDavid, since you were/are involved in mud drags, is it true that some of the high speed 4WD mud racers use a slightly lower gear...
My guess would be the '72 had 3.73 and the '79 had 3.54. They seem to be popular gears for those years.
I have a motor and set of mounts that I pulled from a '79 cj which I intended to use on my '75 which is still nothing but a frame at this point....
Is anyone aware of a source for the transmission crossmember for my 1975 cj5 restoration? Other than finding a used one someplace, my only other...
