New window frame and all the trimmings on order from A Rite. Good call on the recommendation! $530 shipped to my door. He didnt have one in stock but he was able to find me one a couple of days away while I was on the phone with him.

Your going to hate me for saying this, but I just saw a brand new TJ windshield frame on craigslist for $75.00.

I dont hate.. I saw them all on 4wd.com for 400 +shipping without the glass and gaskets. I checked craigslist.. guess I just got the wrong description or missed the ad. I also checked ebay and a handful of other sites.. You win some, you lose some I guess. Either way, window is getting fixed.

Very true.  The one I found looked like it was just the frame.  No gasket or windshield.  Are you going to get it painted or just leave it black?

Frame is here. For all those interested, the 2003 Jeep Wrangler window frame and the 03 Rubicon window frame are not the same (inside trim wise..) So I will be drilling holes today and painting prior to install.  :-\

Damage Report:

Obviously the window (which is now repaired):



And other various things...











Air filter and ducting needs to be cleaned out from all the oil. Fluids could use a swap to make them all the same viscosity. Air bags are here, just need to install them and I need to rewire the KC Lights back on to the window. Other than that, I'd say she did really well. Than you to GenRight Offroad for the awesome body parts.  Should be ready for the cruise day/club meeting on the 12th.  ;D

Nice. Was there any damage to the stock roll cage & do the doors still close with ease??
