Mean 97+ I got a reply with a link but i guess it was deleted.
How hard is this to do? Any kind of modifications or drilling? Has anyone made a front end conversion how-to thread? If not what should i know? What happens to the corner turn signals? From the looks it is only a reflector on the corner. I really like how clean the newer front end looks and want it.

its easy...i have done it to 5 cherokees and my new mj.
its all bolt on...you have to cut and splice the harnesses. only hard part is figuring out the wiring......but not too hard
just get the front header panel with all lights and grill, and both front fenders.......goes on really smooth.
when you get into swapping the doors over, thats where it gets a little tricky!!

I have done it on my 91 XJ, its all bolt on except the wiring harness. to do the swap you will need: header panel, both fenders, the turn signal assemblies and pretty much everything thats attached to the header panel.(make sure you take all the bolts and bolt clips from the Jeep everything comes off of) you need the wiring harness also as you will need to splice in the bottom turn signal connectors, and side turn signal connectors due to the plugs being different. Its quite a bit of work so you should plan a full day for doing all the work.
