Default Would You?????

Well I currently have a 00 xj lifted about 5.5 to 6" and I love the xj but I have found an 87 2wd 4cyl Comanche for 500 and I love the Manche's. I would like to do a complete swap of the interior motor trans etc. If you had a chance to do this would you.
Here is my xj

I've considered finding a commanche and doing this myself... lol. may be a good idea to have a second cherokee first though as a donor, I love mine too much to cannibalize it.

Ahh its know big deal I don't really have that much into it. But the things I didn't use I would just part it out. And not having neither one to drive wouldn't really hurt me bc I have 3 other vehicles I could drive.

Cause of the updated design would be my guess. Always wanted to do this myself, just don't have the money or space. Got the time now that I got laid off.

I understand that but I would switch the doors fenders and my grille bumper etc over to the MJ. The only problem that I have is I don't have a garage.

I'd try to grab a front axle from a 97-99 though, for the high pinion instead of the low pinion on the 00's and 01's.

I said it because I didnt know if you wanted to keep your xj you have now I figured you would cause it's a nice looking xj, just it has a dumb azz owner, no common sense with a few of you I can see.
