I haven't done a lot to the Jeeps since I bought a new house. I've been spending a lot of time and money doing Bob Vila stuff. I had a minor setback last week when the wifey hit a deer with ZXJ-OH01.

I ordered all the parts online and had everything in a few days.

It was pretty easy switching everything over. Here's a list of parts replaced.
-Header Panel
-Grille
-Headlights
-Marker assembly and lens
-Turn signal assembly and lens.
-Headlight Bezels
-Upper core support
-Header mount support
-Radiator
-AC Condenser
-Electric fan
-Mechanical fan shroud
Not too bad, cost me just over $400

Looks pretty cool with the black nose. When I get some time I'm gonna backlight those headlight housings with the red LEDs I have left over from the dash mod. I also plan to VHT the orange lenses once it's warm enough outside to paint.

looks like you should get a stinger front bumper, If a deer could do that imagine all the zombies

I plan to add a sweet bumper/grille guard combo. Hopefully I can spare some cash before Summer. I'd get one now but I bought a Buick while the Jeep was down.

It'd be nice if you could incorporate some chain saws into the front bumper. Then run a throttle cable over to them from the cab to control RPM. LOL

Sweet build. I love the zombie theme and I actually plan on mildly adding some zombie accessories to mine. I may have to borrow some of your ideas. Keep up the work.
