Re: Lowering the windshield
Seven year old trucks should have a million miles on them if their
broker kept them half busy. I idea was they had open channel frames
where water couldn't collect, none of this too thin box sheet metal used
in your car.

Re: Lowering the windshield
The hinges on my `79 CJ-5 are under a fair bit of tension. The hinges
look like they were designed for a windshield frame that runs straight up
(1975 and earlier, perhaps?), but for the 1976-1980 model years the
windshield frame tapers, pulling the hinge joint towards the center. Even
brand new they bind a bit when installed.

Re: Lowering the windshield
"a small general-purpose motor vehicle with 80-inch wheelbase, 1/4-ton
capacity, and four-wheel drive used by the U.S. army in World War II; also :
a similar but larger and more powerful U.S. army vehicle "
OK, that rules out all CJs and YJs and TJs and FSJs and FCs, etc. None of
these were used by the U.S. army during WWII. In fact, I believe it rules
out any vehicle that actually says "Jeep" on it!
What is "a similar but larger and more powerful U.S. army vehicle "? A
Humvee?
