Help Replacing A Plillar

[jrowell]

So my Father n law was messing around and flopped his 88 XJ. It pushed the drivers A pillar in and broke the windshield. Looking for advice on fixing it.

We have some parts jeeps we could get another A pillar from. Any advice would be appreciated.

The drivers top corner is pushed back about an inch.

Send a PM to KPTHEMP. He grafted in an A pillar on his last XJ resurrection. Do a search for his builds - may take awhile, he has a couple XJ builds and an MJ build documented. His silver 01 XJ build had some good photos of that graft.

We got the A pillar pounder out. .. it's just the top corner now. Can't get it bent back up.

Use a hi-lift...

I used a high lift on mine . Still was in a ways. Used a lot
Of urethane to seal the windshield
