    I have the option to purchase a hardtop that is on a 81' CJ-5. When looking at the pictures, im not sure if this top is modified to fit a 76-83 CJ-5 from a pre 75' CJ. When you look at the pictures, the windshield is at a sharper angle than normal. Any guidance or information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    The doors are from a 76 or newer and don't seem to fit the top by the windshield. I say the top in for a 75 and older and rigged to fit the 81

    Yes it looks like someone popped an intermediate top on a 80 if thats the year, cant really make out the windshield to see if it has an exterior wiper motor, if it does, someone swapped out noth the windshield and the top, the doors, definitly 76-

    if its a 80 windshield, there has to be a major gap at the base cause it wouldnt be folded back where it needs to be
