Unhappy Cyndi

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee, 4 dr and would like to know which other years and/or body styles (such as Wagoneer, grand cherokee) are interchangable with my frame.

Mine has extensive body damage and I would like to know my options for replacing the body. Also, are there any places that cater to Jeeps (junk yards/used part stores) to find parts?

Mine currently has an 8" Skyjacker lift kit and rock crawling suspension and gearing ratios. Running with 35 inch wheels/tires. It has lots of bells and whistles I don't want to give up... Just want something else to put it in.

Cherokees are unibody, there is no "frame"
best bet is to find another one and switch your parts over.

or get a wrangler and use the tires and the axle and gearing. once and axle has the mounting hardware ground off there pretty much universal or can be made to work.. if you like the stuff for strictly wheeling, look into making a buggy!

x2, mostly. Your other option is to go to a junk yard and grab body panels and rebuild your Cherokee. If your core support is damaged or you think the damage is much more than just body panels, then you should probably follow the advice of Defiance. Post pics if you can.
