grille ?
 
Will a grille from a 95 go on a 96? I bought a chrome grille from a guy and he said it was on his 95 but its like 2" shorter in height than mine and i was told it was a 97-01 grill but he said it was on his 95

If it's from a 95 then it will fit.

there are some slight differences over the years, but nothing too drastic. usually just the way the tabs overlap the trim rings.

post a pic, that'll answer your question whether it's from a 96 or 97.

That is not a 95 grill.It kinda looks like a Grand grill.

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:00 AM

didnt think so

troy fritz 06-09-2010 10:04 AM

I would say a 99 and up Grand Cherokee (WJ)grill.

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:09 AM

Grand Cherokee?

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:11 AM

def. not a 99 and up wj grille

OverlandZJ 06-09-2010 10:11 AM

It's an XJ grill. As caged mentioned there are two style.. with the header panel trim included and non.

There were also variances in slot count as well.

I think thats an 84-89 grill.

Does it match your current one?

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:12 AM

im pretty sure its not a GC grille at all

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:14 AM

no its 2" shorter than my 96 grille

troy fritz 06-09-2010 10:19 AM

Unless there is something wrong with my cp screen cuz it looks all rounded on my screen.

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:22 AM

not rounded at all

RENIXBEAST 06-09-2010 10:25 AM

My screen must be messed up cuz it looks very rounded.

mud_digger 06-09-2010 10:27 AM

i did try putting it on. there is a small gap on the top or bottom which ever way. if i screwed the top in the gap is in the bottom. its shorter than my 96 grille

superj 06-09-2010 11:14 AM

looks like the grill on my old zj.

mud_digger 06-09-2010 12:23 PM

anyone know for sure?

caged 06-09-2010 02:27 PM

it has the little tabs that fit under the headlight trim rings. therefore it's the same as my chrome 92 grill, could be the same up to 96.

here is a pic of a grand cherokee grill.

here is a pic of a 97-01 xj grill

this is up to 90 xj. notice no tabs in the top corner.

yours is definitely an xj grille, most likely a 92 and up. but as mentioned, the trim is different.
here are pics of my 90 (black) and my 92 (chrome).
note the trim is attached to the 92 and not on the 90.

If you're in a jamb and need a grill we carry them new for pretty short money.
