Question

1976 DJ5 Jeep
I am looking for replacement blades for my RHD mail jeep.  The ones on it are 11 inches long. Any ideas?  I went to jcwhitney but they were all too long... Who made these jeeps back then?
Thanks,
Janet

Answer
The best I can recommend is bring your blades to your local NAPA auto parts store and try to match one up. They are pretty good at this. Advance Auto Parts, Carquest, or Discount Auto Parts might be alternatives. 76 DJ Jeeps were made by AM General, a subsidary of AMC.
