I owm a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 4.0L and got into a minor accident. The front bumper and grille is bent in and cracked. Is this a repair i can take on myself or would there be an underlying problem with the frame because it may need to be straightened. I'm pretty sure i can easily find the parts at a junkyard in the Northern Virginia area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

depends on your definition of "minor accident". pics would help.

 

If its just the header panel/grill and bumper, you can easily do it yourself. Pics would defininetly help answer your question. I'd have the "frame" checked out.

 

Here is a pic of it. I put one in the original post but i guess it got lost.

 

I would have the Unibody checked to make sure it's straight before I did anything to it. Front end collision like that is likely to tweak critical components, especially steering....
