Small world Jeepsinker.
my rig is also a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35a2 w/winch & a ten foot power angle snow plow that detaches with 4 pins & allows use of winch when attached.
Still looking for that rear window.

To : Flyingvan911 & everyone else-
I have been looking for two years for a "a damaged/rusted out hardtop with a good window.".
Best I could find junker was too much $.

Have tried usual part sources - all dozen of them.
I am going to look...
Thanks to all, John S-B, Jeepsinker, etc.
In my case indeed rust is the only thing holding it in place.
Since my M35A2 is bobbed, I am not concerned about originality.
I will try & use your ideas, do some cutting and install a sliding window from a pick up truck.
I will post details on...
understood. thank you.
I will watch dates with more care.
But I still have not found a cheap way to get rid of the air-motors for the windshield wipers.
I tried 24 vdc motors from a jeep website - but they were too weak.
My 10 foot power angle plow is working great.
Sorry if I have caused...
Reply for SoundGuy,
The pics are worth 1000 words as they say....
My install still looks the same as the day I posted pics on 11/15/2011 - and I have logged many hours of hard use.
I can only guess at two causes for the condition in your pics:
1) As discussed- could have benifitted from...
Reply to SoundGuy RE: Paint prep
Thanks for reply as it may help others.
Your intent was good and your effort at paint prep was excellent.
Unfortunately I have found that many carb cleaners actually contain some form of petrolium distilates ( enemy of paint adheasion).
I do love carb...

I am glad seem as pleased with the set up as I am.
I have been running it hard for weeks now and am still entirely pleased.
But I am puzzled about your "paint failure".
We used the exact same paint and mine has held up perfectly under extreme usage....(?)
All I can think of...

I may have used the incorrect term for "Military block heater". If so please excuse me.
It is a heating element ( looks like one from a domestic electric water heater).
The unit fits into the multi fuel engine block water jacket and plugs into 120 V.A.C.

Well I am not a scientist with a Decible meter -
But I think saying 1/3 for sure and closer to 1/2.
More than 1/2 at idle and less than 1/3 at full open throttle...
That is why I get no preformance drop!
The Moroso unit is not a "glass pack" straight through muffler". I is actually pretty...
Addressing islandguydon:
As I have said previously, everyone has their own preferences.
I am pretty sure the larger muffler IS quieter - it looks like it should be...
But it was important to me that I retain a "stock" look.
I reached a compromise that worked for me. That is not to say it...
Thanks for the fast reply!
I thought so - I figured I probably would have th buy the frame & glass as a unit.
Question is: Do you know anyone selling?
Since my glass is good , my other option is to use about 3 tubes of silicone caulk around the perimeter untill I find a replacement...
I am new to "posting" so I hope errors will be overlooked...
I agree with"joec" that the JATONKA setup is good.
I live in northern Maine and plow with my Deuce.

My procedure is an ass pain but...
I am "new" to this "posting" thing so please excuse me.
I am looking for a rear window for my hard top M35A2.
My glass is good - but the frame is rusted to heck.
I have had no luck searching for replacement.
Any ideas or leads ....?
Thank you
