I have a YJ hardtop and as everyone knows the rear window won't work with the drop tailgate. So can i just modify the back window or does anyone have another suggestion?
YJ rear hatch on a CJ

I think they are different but check the hinges/gate measurements on both hardtops and you may be able to put a CJ lift gate on the YJ hardtop. I don't think it will work but I have a CJ liftgate with window you can have if it does. Some aftermarket tops you may be able to switch parts on, not sure which one you have. I have a CJ hardtop if you need measurements.
You could put a crappy YJ tailgate/hinges on but the CJ one is much better.

You can mod the CJ tailgate so it can be locked and unlocked with small handles from the outside. Shouldn't be too hard to do.

Hey guys, this tub i have on the CJ is from a YJ so i already welded all the holes and made the CJ tailgate setup and installed it. Sooooooo, there is no way i'm going back to an ugly YJ gate.
MellowYellow, i have another CJ tailgate at the shop in blue. Make an offer or trade something?
So, maybe i'll just look at it and pull out my fiberglass skills and cut the lip and patch it up.
