Might also put something cross bracing wise across the front, or at least some gussets to strengthen the front from racking.
You have a 75 or 76 CJ5 if I am corect whcih means the roll bar only attaches to the rear wheel wells if it is stock. If that is the case I would definatly replace everything and not attach the new cage to it.
If that hard top is for the cj5 and in decent shape its worth what you paid for the jeep! Put it up for sale on the jeeps unlimited board for $1200 and you might have a free jeep! Hard tops for the cj5's are kinda rare and hard to find.
I saw it at wolly world the other night, the front bumper is definetly origionall, i liked it though
Saw your jeep at the car lot (not for sale) next to the raceway in L-town, Very nice jeep, Pictures don't do it justice.
yeah I know along with the other 100 jeeps around here thats OD. Im gonna do something else with it just not sure what.
