FPR sliding window

[joekatana]

Does anybody know if the FRP top window frames are the same as the hard top? I remember Crushers installed stainless steel frames into one of his customers BJ70's. I thought they were after market or custom built at the time but maybe they were sourced from a newer 70's??

No the windows from the hardtop are shorter and taller

What about the window frames from an HZJ74? Or are they the same discontinued part number?

From what I can tell there are a few difference the biggest being the shape. I know mine the top corners are squared off and come to a point where the hard top frames appear to have rounded corners and from pictures I've looked at it looks like front and rear ( top to bottom sections) are angle different. I'm not sure if there is a size difference between the two tho so you may be able to fabricate one to fit with a little cutting and welding or fiberglassing to the roof

As far as I know any FRP frames would work. Hardtop frames are not even close.

i bought mine last year the frames were still available. The only thing that i couldn't get was the inside rubber that goes under the metal frame. I bought them from a body shop in Okinawa, i got the part # from this Sliding Side Window Rubber Channel Replacement

Where did you get the frames from?

Can anybody confirm this frame will work for FRP top? It’s not differentiating between hard top or FRP. 70 Series Right Quarter Window Frame SWB BJ70 [62705-90K00 / 62705-60031] - $208.99 : CruiserParts, The best place for Land Cruiser Parts! - https://shop.cruiserparts.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=112_333_118_114&products_id=61964

Oof, never mind I just realized the parts are for short wheel base but the hzj73 is MWB. Somehow the folks sold me this, without either of us knowing it’s the wrong part. Because I was / am such a noob I didn’t realize HZJ70 didn’t include all hzj trucks.

Fold down windshield for a fold down 70 should be the same as the 73/74
