Default 1988 to 1999 front end retrofit?

I have a 1988 Comanche And I love the Grill/headlight assembly but I like the late 90's Cherokee's better. could I get one out of a junk yard and bold it right up?

You'll need the fenders as well because it's shaped a bit different. Tons of threads on here about it.

You don't have to replace the fenders if you can do body work just backfill the corners with fiberglass and trim them to match
