I guess I have a hard choice ahead of me to do it or not to do it but thanks to all of you for your honest opinions. All in all I just want to do something cool and different to my xj but retain the jeep flavor.

Oh it does look very cool if done correctly. Like This: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...y/100_3121.jpg
One of my favorite Jeeps. Those headlights and grill are from a CJ, not a TJ. I think the CJ headlights/Grill looks better than from a TJ.

Here is my take on this, will be done by end of summer, hope for sooner, would do now but need to dig up "extra" funds. I found everything I need just need to wait to get it done
I based my idea off the Casablanca Concept XJ (and this is Rock Hard Offroad's bumper picture)

I like the look of that ChileRedBateman. Are you going to use metal plates for the headlights and signals to mount into?

yes, aluminium plate 1/8" should be fine, then scratched up and hit with rattle can bedliner. on and I'll form it a bit to be flush with grille, not set back like it could be just mounted flush... finding cheaper headlight buckets has been the issue, but i have tracked them down, so i hope to do this soon.

I live in South Korea and wanted to get the Dynapro's here, because you'd figure they're made here so they should be cheaper right? Wrong. $240 a piece for 32's or 33's I forget. I could have them shipped from USA for cheaper than that, it's crazy. Stupid country...
