Looks like it's REALLY time to invest in a good full cage.
You can get a repro windshield frame from places like 4WD Hardware for under $150, glass at local windshield places for under $100 installed. With the windshield frames, check to see that there's a rib between the wiper arm holes, if there isn't, they flex and crack with age.
Fenders, hood, grille? Pound them out and keep going, call them "battle scars".

you'll eventually pay for it...
and not have it.

How'd YOU make out in that deal? I remember taking a CJ-5 end-over-end and busted a couple knuckles ...
Totaled mine though, broke both axles, bent the frame, and bent everything else - including the 'roll bar'

I was gonna say, that should all just buff right out... ;)Originally Posted by tufcj
haha i ended up just fine....no seat belt but one hell of a grip on the wheel kept me in place. I beat out the dents and its a lil bit ugly but ill live and as far as the roll bar, frame, and axles.....just perfectly fine, did blow a tire off bead but that was an easy fix thanks to my buddies on board air
