Jeep XJK?
 
Sorry if this is old news but I just came across this image:

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...ad4b40c43f.jpg

I can't find anything more on it. I'm not saying I want to do it by any means but I can't imagine it was too easy and I'm curious on the build. And a reason why they did it.

If the base cherokee is a 97+ the rear hatch curve would match the hood of the tj, or at least better than the pre 97.

There's a fire somewhere that thing should be on.

Interesting. Not bad. Just different.

The image has a washed out quality to you. Almost as if it was photoshopped. ;)

They must have taken the photos with a potato.

I imagine its existence pre-2007, before the JK, someone with a real hard-on for Wranglers but just had to have 4 doors. No respect for a proper XJ build. Someone with a fat wallet, no self-decency, and a bought, not built, mindset walked into a shop somewhere and demanded something efficient to take the kids to soccer practice but still wanted to be the cool parent outside of the school to pick them up.

Nope, that's a JKU front clip (laid back more than TJ, signal lights, etc), and it's real. My Google-fu led me to find this, I don't have FB so I can't see any more info. https://m.facebook.com/Travisjeepxjc...75275209351503
While searching I also saw a black XJ with a TJ clip.

Thank you! I tried reverse searching with google images and it didn't bring up anything but the original.. from what I can see they just posted those picture, maybe did the build, but from what I can see on their Facebook it's just a bunch or reposting other peoples builds.

Personally of all the combinations, I like the XJ/YJ. Solely because it keeps the square lights.
I would love to see a cross between the XJ and MK (Patriot, not Compass), but just the front clip/grille and the hood - NOT the fenders haha, it would be a hell of a lot of work to not use the MK fenders but they are just so ugly. Or at least mount up some bushwackers and cut off the "built-in" fender flares.

I like it. I would run it

kylemason 02-29-2016 11:32 PM

I think I would even suffice with something along these lines:

I have an extra grille. I'll definitely end up doing this. Even if I just end up taking it off and selling them I am curious enough to build it. I don't think I would include the extra blinker in the front. And I would get halos if I ended up keeping the circle lightsaybe integrated turn signals in the halos.

That looks like a land rover knock off to me.
