    My CJ has HID, and ritalin did not help lol, its a '74, with an '80 windshield.
    I snagged a CL fiberglass hard top with hard doors, sliding half windows (not shown), its been coated in black bedliner.
    Missing the rear hatch, dooe handles and locks etc.

    Anyone here in the collective know the hard top identity?
    Thanks in advance,

    I agree with Glenn & Tim..........looks to be an ACME top , vintage 1976 and newer............Which is good news for your later 1980 Windshield. The Early Windshield frame before 1976 would not mate up to the later Top.

    Here is a picture of a 76 and newer ACME top........in the photo's on the tailgate you'll see the ACME emblem embellished into the fiberglass.

    ACME built a nice top, the dual panel insulated roof works nicely in Hot or Cold Weather , and when correctly installed offer less noise and weight than there Steel Counterparts. Door parts , like strikers are still available.......and if you looked in the salvage yards so are doors and maybe a tailgate..........In fact I may know where a tailgate might be 4-sale in the near future?

    Thanks to the Hive!
    Hope I didnt underpay too much-cost me 240, included a roll bar which he said is a CJ5 model, but suspect it is a 7. Looks like mine accepts the bar which bolts flat to inner fender wells only, and doesnt run down behind seat back. Tarry, lmk, even without glass perhaps I'll snap that gate up, even if you are in Norcal. I'll be in Oregon in near future...
