I just found a 01 wj and ther parting it out and im already getting the wheels cause they look better than my stock,the wj came with a v8 and im wondering abut using the trans and the transfer case,plus the axles i am wandering if they will fit and be worth the swap as of making my zj better..the changing the front clip,grill,lights,fenders..and im not to worried about the body lines..i can fix that with body work! ive looked all over for this mod an cant find anything on this subject. please HELP odvisly i need any ideas to help acomplish this so any would be appreciated...im lookig for any pics or websites.thanks so much

 

well first off, the wheels wont fit your ZJ they are the wrong lug pattern, and Im pretty sure none of your ideas with the body or trans will work either, they are COMPLETELY different, it would take MAJOR modification to get the front clip from a wj to work on a zj

 

There's a thread on Jeepforum about retrofitting the front clip to a WJ front clip, IIRC. As stated earlier the wheels won't fit without adapters. The trans won't work at all, it's controlled completely different than your 46RH. I believe the WJ trans is a 545RFE. Way more trouble than its worth. The axles are wider than your ZJ axles, plus they won't bolt up without alot of mods, also the WJ axles have a different ABS system, plus their speedo is controlled off of the axles instead of the ZJ at the T-case.

If you want to take anything from it, do the WJ brake swap on your ZJ. You'll get better brakes and a better stock steering system.

 

which forum is it for the retrofiting the front clip

 

Seriously? I'm a member of 9 different Jeep forums. Google is your friend!!! Within 3 seconds of typing this in the answer was there! Amazing!!!
