I do believe that the 7* jdm share the same windshields that were sold here in Canada (bj70). So you should be able to source one directly from a Toyota dealership, be sure to order one for a hard top, I guess there is a difference. Mind you this was for a LJ78 when I got this info. I'd double check my BS before acting.
Toyota quoted me $ 350.0 , and a local importer quotes a round $500.0 , and when I got my truck out of the shop (insurance job where I gave these two options to the shop) I.C.B.C. was charged $600.0 for the windshield from the importer. Gotta love selective pricing!
Do a search on Mud and you should be able to find out about the dealership route.

depends if the windshield is a fold down or not.

78 was never a fold down, the 78 is the same as the NA BJ70, toyota is the way to go. shipping glass across Canada is a risky business and most companies have no insurance on glass.
Will the 70 glass fit the 77 I was thinking of bringing one in but did not think about the glass replacement,the 40 series amd 60 series are no problem since they are a dime a dozen.
There is only 2 windshields for the 7* series ,fold down frame and fixed frame. So yes,the 70 will fit a 77.
Try Apple Auto Glass, I'm in Ottawa Ontario, I inquired for a 85 bj70 with the Apple guy we use for our other trucks. His computer showed a listing in a Montreal warehouse for a '85 2 door Landcruiser and a 4door Landcruiser and that's how the listing called it, it didn't have a specific landcruiser model attached to it. Going by memory but re and re was about $600 +/-. hope this helps
I'm copying this little bit to my home computer

I had a mobile glazier out to my place yesterday to fit a new windscreen into my 75 and repair 2 chips in the 73 series windscreen.
He brought the wrong windscreen,it was for a BJ70/LJ70 as the sticker said.
I was surprised how much bigger they were than the w/screen in hinged type frame,must be 50mm in height

yep, about 2"
when you jump in ya 75 pretty much make the bottom rail of the window frame glass
i read once about 79 series that when they had the featers they said a wider cab than 75's so i presume its wider from the top of the doors up which would make the 70 75 troopy and 79 ute front window wider than 75 ute?

nope, same size as the older "fixed" units.
all fold down units are the same size.

I remember reading something like that myself but I think the journos who write those stories cocked it up.
Itss length of the cab that is different.

roof height, length is different.
and of course the later 79 series has a wider front frame to go with the wider front clip.

What's the problem with fiberglass? I fitted mine up to check it was a good fit and fit well. Are there structural issues like it's not as strong as the metal frame? My rusty metal one is leaking real bad now after pulling it out and putting it back in. It rained last week and my right foot got wet
Cheers,
