Looks like a new style conversion. Based on the mirrors at least. Did you swap the front fenders as well? I was thinking about doing just the header panel on mine. I really dont think so though I kind of like the older look.

 

No I kept my fenders. its okay with the header panel. you can't really notice a big diffrence. I'll post an image to show what it looks like. You can change them to fit perfectly, but I didn't want to go through all that and changing them and having to paint them.

Right Side

Left Side


Just got done rainning, but they look fine. small gap on the right side but the left looks almost perfect.

 

Ok from the looks of it you changed the front bumper too. Is there any reason that you couldnt leave the old bumper on. Just wondering. I think if I do it that I will probably modify the header panel to match the old fenders instead of the other way around. Anyway looks like a pretty clean conversion otherwise. I also like how you kept the old flares.

 

I didn't change the bumber. those are the corner bumbers off 97-01 Cherokees. there just end caps that go where the smaller ones go that are on the 84-96 models. You'll have the cut the old flares for them to fit with the new corner bumber end caps unless you do what I do and that is get the 97-01 flares. you will also need the flare brakets as the older brakets will not work on 97-01. you can find them at a Junk Yard like I did. the cheapest way, or a Jeep dealer can sell you one PCS for $25 each. there are 8 total and that would be a total of $200 from the dealer. I got them all at the JY for $8.00. I'll post an image of what they look like.

 

84-96 Flare Brackets


97-01 Flare Brackets



The 97-01 Flares snap on. these are hard to find online and only could find the 84-96 ones. So best to get them at the JY

they should be the same lineup

 

If your wanting to try to build a stock type 97-01 Cherokee heres my build thread. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/19...-2001-a-49861/

 

New Paint job


Can't wait to add the charcole rims on it.
