Why would it be hard? It would just be like swapping two fenders, two doors and the front fascia area. That's about it. Shouldn't need to mess with any of the wiring but I could be wrong.

clips easy. pretty easy to get body lines rite. I used the headlight harness outa mine and solderd in the dual lights(turn signals are dual in 01) to the wires from the signal. I think when i was done i had like 2 bolts i didnt use from the removal of my clip so it bolts up almost the same
doors are tricky though i wont go in depth on those unless you want to change those to.
newer mirriors(%40 larger on the newer cherokees) will bolt right to your door

yeah it is almost a direct swap. When you swap ANY body part that is bolted on you will have to adjust and shim a few times to get it to look right. If you dont you could have a 3/4in gap at the back of hood and no gap at the front. But front clips are pretty easy

When dealing with panels you always have to line stuff up. This is something you just gotta do really. Can't really answer questions on how to put body panels on other than take off old, put new on. Lol

Oh ya!!! I sell a lot of Camaro/trans am parts and sold a ss spoiler and it was 87 bucks to ship. You'll pay dearly for this in the end and possibly be missing bolts and what not. Your call though really. Not a bad deal but you might be able to get this for 200-250 at a junk yard and get everything you possibly could need

. $100 isnt bad. make sure he sends you the headlight wiring harness so you can get the extra turn lights
