hello all, had a question,
I was wondering do most of the XJ's have the same dimensions on like the front grill assembly and rear door, was wondering if it is possible to update the look of my 90 with newer style front grill and rear hatch

i read up some where that you can do a 97+ whole front clip swap that mounts right in

does it mount up to the factory locations or would i need to do some extra fab work

from what I've read, it bolts right up but you need the grill piece AND fenders, maybe the hood too, but I don't think so, and you'll need to do some wiring as well, because of different connectors.

ahh, okay sure sounds like it could be alot of work

its all how you look at it

Technicaly you just need the header panel and headlight bezels. The only reason the front fenders are required is that there will be a small gap at the top corners of the header panel where it meets the fender. That bothers most people which is why the fenders are also used. The swap is fairly simple btw, it all bolts right up. Take off the old, replace with new. You can also use the side view mirrors from the 97+ as well.

the rear hatch is different, you would have to modify the hinges
