It is supposed to be a complete front Header panel kit, including grill, light buckets etc. All for only $260 plus shipping.

I've never purchased anything from CPW or used any parts made my Crown the company that's the manufacturer of the kit.

Anyone else?

Here the pic.


Here's the link to the kit info.

CROWN HEADER PANEL KIT

Anyone with any advice or experience on these items, thanks for your help.

Just a suggestion, check your local junkyards. I bought a complete header panel assembly including all those parts pictured for $90, the guy even threw in 2 front bumper end caps. They are not hard to find on Craigslist. Best part is it comes completly assembled, including the wiring harness. Just remove about 8 nuts and unplug in the wiring harness. Plug the new one in and reinstall the fasteners and you are done.

Yeah, that's what I wanted. Three wrecking yards in my hometown only one of them keeps rigs older than 96. None of their 8 XJ's has a complete header.

I was hoping someone had some experience with this company, if not I'll start looking at JY's in the lower 48 and have something shipped up.

Thanks for your input!

I was in NorthWestAutoParts Anchorage (http://www.northwestautoparts.com/search.htm) a week ago and they only had 1 XJ in the whole yard. It is a biyatch up here. Did you try Anchorage CL?

Yeah, just found some private parties parting out their early 90 XJs. I'm gonna be making some calls over the next couple days.

AND I'm going to that last local JY to get all the parts I need before someone else decides they need them more than I do.

Thanks again!

Thanks alot I appreciate that....seems like there's not very many of us on here from 'The Great Land'.

Was just down in Juneau last November for the first time since I was 7, so got a chance to check out a bit of your fair city.

Many places to go wheeling there?

Haven't dealt with Crown yet, I know from past experience non-OEM goodies don't always match up exactly to what you got.

Zilch. The local clubs have been trying to open some areas, but the idiots kids go tear up anywhere that's even considered, so it gets closed down.
