windshield cost

[Pdphilson]

finished my windshield install and I will post my cost --- I used a 76 thru 86 cj7 frame from crown $ 182.00 glass $ 150.00 ( I feel the glass should have been around $ 75.00 ) I purchased some stainless steel hinges for hood and windshield plus lower door hinges and lots of other stainless goodies from craig list. I put them through the blast cab. as I want the black trim look. The frame from crown came with the window gasket and the vent gasket on the base of the frame as well as the upper soft top tracks and related hardware --- I powder coated the frame $ 80.00 -- long story short you can put a jeep windshield in for under $ 400.00 depending on how far you want TO GO --paint vs powder coating --- stainless hardware vs plain steel --- now glass replacement came be done nation wide --- wipers and linkage with motor under $100.00 I feel this approach is far better and less expensive than using roxor after market items

You did a real clean install. Good job! I think that you are right, use CJ7 parts for a clean, foldable install. Your Roxor looks great!

Nice... How was the install? is it bolt on?

 

[Pdphilson]

Yes bolt in with the exception of one Bolton each side. You can go without these. I drilled new holes and installed nut certs
Every body needs to check both diffs xfr case trans fluid level. Mine took 5 to 8 pumps of gear oil in each one

 

[Pdphilson]

You can see in the picture the side hole that doesn't
Match. As long as I was drilling I did all the holes for inch nut certs

Nice....any idea on a hardtop yet??

Looks great. I'm thinking of doing the same. Curious if others had the hinge bolt misalignment also.what size are the tires?

Looks Great! Did you modify your roll cage or is that a CJ cage?

Hard to tell in the photos....is there a gap under the windshield that would let air in or??

 

[RFecht]

There was a very small gap between the "Mahindra" cowl and the windshield. I added the cowl gasket to the bottom of the windshield frame last night and it sealed the gap.

Hello @Pdphilson, I love your polished 15x8 wheels. What brand are they? I have some Pro Comp ones coming which look very similar to yours. Here's a link to mine: https://www.procompusa.com/wheels-p...=2336-1558-1551-1557&pqa=13671-8280-8056-8251

Also, I'm interested in your front wheel center caps. I have the warn locking hubs, too. I found this part on Morris4x4, and I'm wondering if it's the same model that you got. Pro Comp Front Open Center Cap, Chrome - Sold Individually

Very Clever alternative to save the rollbar and still use a CJ7 windshield can I see a front view photo and could you explain in a little better detail how to attached the windshield frame to the rollbar, any drilling? spacers? Thank you and Please. I think i will be going this route.

Hey I'm trying to go for the same build, I'm trying to remove the roll cage but don't have a drill bit large enough for those rear roll cage mounts screws. Are those torx screws? And if so what size? 50, 60? Thank you.

Stop and put down the drill. You don’t drill anything to remove the cage. It all unbolts.
And yes they are size 50. If you have one that fits a 3/8” ratchet you will need a universal joint.
