Default I have an important question!!

I have a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 that I need the header panel and front drivers side panel for.

The local salvage yard has a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Will those parts fit my XJ or am I **** outta luck?

Im willing to bet there are at least a dozen xjs in your area that you could pull parts from.. i know everywhere is different but theres gotta be more junkyards around you. If not, look for a part out on craigslist

You would honestly think that, but I can't find any. They're all Grand Cherokee. And I've looked on craigslist and the closest ones are 80-150 miles away.

I'm up in Delaware and I can't find any XJ's for parts hardly at all. I ended up buying a panel from eBay and re shaping panels and brackets in my shop. Honestly it makes it easier for me to get a dent here or there because she's already hurt lol

You do realize you can use those parts from a 2-door or 4-door right?
