Or rather: not what I wrote, but how some people read it. I'm poking fun
at Bill, if you want to read it as being pissed off then knock yourself
out but I don't take Bill (or anyone else on usenet) seriously enough to
get pissed at them. Irritation is about the most I can manage anymore.

or bend the frame like I did, but I GOT IT TO LAY DOWN.
If it jams force it, if it breaks - it needed replacing anyway!

Re: Lowering the windshield
Bill -are you saying that original CJ hard doors had drain holes in
the bottom? Mine doesn't seem to have any. I wonder if I should get
a small drill bit and open a hole in the bottom to prevent rusting
from the inside?
