Default 96 grille fit on a 92?

I need to replace my grille on my 92 as it is cracked and such. Talked to the local JY and they have some from a 96, and the photos look like the grille has the same attach points and should fit. but if anyone has experience with putting a 96 on a 92, please let me know.

All I can wonder is why you'd want to change to the 96 grille...I've always wanted the opposite swap.

I just need to replace the grille because mine is cracked and starting to look bad, so i found a black one from a 96 and since my jeep is black i think a black grille would look pretty good. And the JY doesn't have any 92's

No their not. Theres a difference in early and later grills prior to 97. Go to www.quadratec and look up the grills, that should tell you the compatible years.

Basically it's the addition of the headerpanel trim and not... same with the headlight bezels.
