    I am looking for 2 passenger doors and a windshield frame (preferably black as to not have to repaint) but am interested in anything anyone sees. (I'm also not opposed to buying a whole wrecked jk if one is available with the parts I need for a fair price)

    On top of that I'm thinking of going with the smittybuilt fenders to cover the body damage on the rear quarter (probably get the fronts to match) I'm figuring this is the easiest for full coverage and I think I like the look.

    If anyone sees a factory hard top for sale in the $1500 range that's probably the way I will go - if I can't find one I think I like the smittybuilt safari top.

    I'll pound out the dent a bit in the B pillar and use Evo or poison spyder B pillar covers.

    I think that's the plan except I want some new seats and a bolt in cage.

    If anybody has any other suggestions for products in any of these areas let me know as I don't want to miss a product I may like better or may work better that I have not seen.

    I'd save the rear view mirror and trim pieces just incase.

    Rather than replacing the seats, just get the 2011 n up fabric and we can put it on with hog rings n plyers.

    Good call - wonder how hard it is to switch to the newer steering wheel as well

    Parts finding locally was a bit more difficult than I expected. JW has no JKs and none coming in and recycle road off sunrise was a bit of a pain and minimal information on hand (color) but i was able to locate everything. Prices all over the place so I think I'm going to give ebay a try and see if i can locate anything there.

    If anyone else has a source for windshield frame and factory full doors (or an aftermarket similar) let me know please.

    There are on line auto wreckers.  I've bought through some before and the prices are good.

    Here is a hardtop in So Cal that is still in the box if you want a clean top and don't mind the drive or want to have it shipped. Asking $2250 according to the title ($2550 in the body of the ad) but who knows what they might take for it. Never hurts to make an offer.

    Can you switch it since the airbag is in the center somewhere?

    I don't believe you can switch them because the 07-10 use a slow speed sensor and later models use a high speed sensor.

    This place has a black 09 frame.  They want $550 plus whatever shipping may be.  Look at www.jeepglass.com also.
