Like detours front end! My favorite looking xj ever. I wouldn't think it would look that great, and wouldn't the circle headlight bronco front clip ny way to wide since it is a full size rig if I'm not mistaken?? But to each his own I guess, personally I love the look of the front end of an xj. I deleted the bottom marker lights and stub cut my front bumper and personally I think it looks mean as Hell!

Just take out the headlight, signal lens, and a bit of sheet metal and some sketching can go a long way.

I strongly agree! the front of the XJ looks mean as hell and the box look of the light and grill flow with the jeeps looks.

Liftedjeepxj I love your jeep but mine is the older body style so it would be a little harder to do that on mine

Agreed, XJ's are just meant to have square lights, IMHO. Let the Wronglers and new fake Jeeps have the round lights. But to help out, all I can say is trial and error.

This is true but square lights are just Cherokee's thing.

Well. The first "wrangler" was a yj. Witch had square lights. Cjs were not wranglers.
