Well yesterday I had an incident that involved a gust of wind, some ice, and a '71 Wagoneer at just under 70 mph.
Don't worry--I have no idea how but somehow the snow was like the perfect ramp--it landed on all four wheels, and I quite literally got out with out a scratch, bruise, or strain. I'm OK. Even the Jeep--I drove it home after it was yanked out of the ditch. I was the only one involved.
Somehow all of the doors seem to line up exactly as they did before. The windshield got totally destroyed, and I have no idea if the hole for the windshield is still aligned. If it's all aligned I'll get a windshield and fix it. If not it'll probably sit and I'll probably try to fix it eventually.
Anyway, can somebody with a Wag/Cherokee, preferably an an early one, that the windshield doesn't leak on PM me, and we can get some measurements and see if mine's still decent or not?
Thanks guys

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.
