Default Front Windshield replacement?

Has anyone ever done this themselves. I have a growing spiderweb of cracks on my 01 Tj's windshield, it didn't bother me at all, but I will be letting my soon to be 16 daughter "borrow" it for a few years so I think I better replace it.
Just wonderng if anyone has done this themselves and if so, how difficult? special tools needed? any long term problems?

Although I have had mine replaced twice with in the first coupla months of owning it, I have never replaced it my self. I watched while the guy did it and it looked fairly easy. A sharp knife and gloves was about all he used. Ripped out the old gasket and windshield, then put in the new one, sealed it and put in the new gasket.

Had it done. Glad I did!

Just watching the guy remove the old one made me very happy that I left it up to a proffesional.
