Default renegade header on an XJ = pretty cooooool!

Anybody else think that the renegade front header panel on an XJ would look sick? I don't know how difficult it would be to make but it looks cool!

I've heard other people say the round lights don't flow with the rest of the XJ but I've always like them. That pic is pretty cool.

Anyone else think this was going to be about putting the exhaust system from a old Wrangler on a Cherokee ?

Jeep sure does re-use a lot of names, but nothing as stupid as Chevy naming its entire pickup line after a trim package


Anyway, a round-eyed XJ looks cute


If it wasn't for the probable cooling issues, I'd like to see one with the old 1960s wagoneer/gladiator small grill.

That Renny header panel looks right at home on an XJ!

No junk yard diving for one of those...I hate to think what a dealer would charge for a complete one...but it does look cool/weird.

Would be fine for CA. and driving on sand, but off road in trees/brush/rocks don't know how it would hold up.

I would be very concerned about the heat, not enough air getting into radiator for another.


I think it would be good to go on the curb at the Mall

I don't like the look of it. It doesn't fit. But it is very different looking.

In the real world this would look terrible. The nose of the Renegade is a different shape. It rolls off on the sides around the headlights in a way that would never fit properly on the square front of the XJ. You would have to completely rework the header panel, hood, fenders and bumper to even make it fit. And even then it would look wrong.
