Note the round door cutout of a CJ5, the indented rear rail with snaps for the top, and the closeness of the front seat to the steering wheel. The '79 & '80 CJ5 had the roll bar angled and the main support going to the floor instead of to the rear fender. Also the levi highback bucket was an option '79 & 80? The CJ7 had square door opening, slanted rear side rail, rool bar was more straightup and bolted to the rear fender. CJ5.
