YJ / TJ Windshield Transplant?

[Voteban]

I couldn't decide which section this should be in since there's no tech in this post..

Ok, I have a crazy vision for my dream XJ, and this could possibly involve a fold-down windshield if the dimensions on a YJ or TJ are close enough. I'm already planning on a full roof chop and I have a pretty good idea on how I could graft in the windshield.

If any of you have access to YJ or TJ I would love some measurements - I need the width of the top and bottom of the windshield, and the height. I'm currently living at a different residence than my XJ, so if I could get those same measurements from an XJ too that would be awesome!

Also, I have no idea how the folding mechanism works on a YJ / TJ, anybody care to enlighten me? Pics could help..

Lastly, this is completely hypothetical, I don't plan on building my dream XJ for a few years.

I may not have been specific enough, and I hope I didn't waste your time yet iaml3lue, but I'm looking for the windshield frame measurements if that wasn't clear in my first post.

Can I get the measurements from that? Maybe even get a picture of it sitting on a Cherokee in front of the windshield for a visual? :shhh:

The YJ & CJ frames are nearly identical in dimensions, and I just measured my CJ frame. ~60"W x ~22"H

Go get one cheap out of a jy for mockup.
