M1165 windshield wipers

Can someone help me out on windshield wipers for an M1165? I’m seeing references to both 8.25” wipers and 11” wipers. Is there something I can get at a local auto parts store, or is this another super special unique part that needs to be special ordered from kascar or HPG?

Super easy windshield wiper military to civilian on the cheap.

I bought my wiper blades off of eBay from C&C Surplus. I am using them on the same truck and they work fine.

To add to what others have said.. 11" blades for standard windshields, 8.25" for the armored (like ibis tek knockout) windshield.

I am extremely sorry, I meant YJ arms not TJ arms, I do suffer from CRS. but that is no excuse.
I sincerely hope I did not cost you too much money
I have corrected the post.
Again I apologize to anyone that I caused grief....
