Default 2000 cherokee hood and fenders

Just wondering if anyone knows if a 1996 hood and front fender panels will fit a 2000 cherokee sport?

short answer, yes.

the hood is a match, however, the fenders are the old style and have a square edge rather than the smooth curve on the 97+

also, the fender on the 96 may have to be trimmed for the plastic wrap around on the front bumper.

so with that said, you would be better off getting replacements from a 97+ cherokee.

Thanks! I don't have the original front bumper on my jeep the person I bough it from custom made a front Bumper and took all the original front off so I'm hoping that it might work

If newer fender panels are used, I believe the header panel also needs swapped. Otherwise will have two sets of sidemarker lights.

He has the doors to but they look like the older style with the wing vent windows they should fit my 2000 right?

yes, but the hinges are different and the latch is in a different location.
The vent windows and frames can be removed and installed in the newer doors.
