Header Panel
Quadratec offers an OMIX-ADA header panel for "91-96 Jeep Cherokee XJ". When I asked what the difference was between this and a pre-'91 header panel they responded:
Hello, You asked the following question regarding the product "OMIX-ADA 12035.23 Header Panel for 91-96 Jeep Cherokee XJ" https://www.quadratec.com/products/912035_23.htm Your Question: What is the difference between this and the pre-91 header? Our Answer: They have completely different shapes. Please see the following: https://www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_zoomed/publ... https://www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_zoomed/publ... Can someone here please tell me if the header panel for a '91 XJ will work on an '89 XJ. |
I think the grille was different at some point, but the rest remained the same. I think.

Yes. Thanks for finding that. I'm still curious about the difference and/or compatibility between the pre and post-'91 header panels. My plan is to get one from my local junk yard which only occasionally has a Cherokee in stock. If I can use one from an '84 to '96 that will greatly increase my chances of finding one there. |
I spend a lot of time researching stuff. One of the things is compatibility. Comes in handy knowing this for boneyard searches or Craigslist part outs. I need "fill in the blank" for my '00 but what other years will fit.
Part numbers. Won't tell you why it is different but I have to figure if the part for the same part is different from one year to another then it won't work. Which is why I think you should read this: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/research-249236/ |

Actually, they just might interchange. The only difference that is clearly known is that in 91 they went to stickum letters: 84/90 w/ Holes for Emblem Mounting 83506616 91/96 w/out Holes for Emblem Mounting 55294926 |
The headlight surrounds and top grille molding are a different configuration. Get it all for a 91 to 96 or stick with 90 and earlier header panel only.

Huh?
The headlamp surrounds, marker light surrounds and upper grille moldings are different but interchangeable as assemblies with the header panel. |

It's only 95 bucks! Put some of that $$$ you're hoarding back into the economy!
