Long story short, I had a body shop do the work for me. The majority of the cost of body work comes in the perfection of the work. I didn't care if it looked rough so long as it worked.
The body shop said they could bend my windshield frame back, but after 2 days of doing nothing he decided that it couldn't be done so he mowed it off and we cut the frame out of a junkyard ZJ and welded it into place. In retrospect I would have done the work myself and saved the hassle. If you can weld a little bit it isn't that big of a deal. Go find a wrecked truck and pull the windshield frame that is in good shape and just make it work.
If you want I can give you the name of the shop that did the work for me. They did some good work for me in the past, but I'm not super happy with what went down w/ the windshield for various reasons. PM me if you want his info.
