Weird Question
Okay. I know this is going to sound really weird. I have a 99 Cherokee being given to me. Only problem, it was run into a tree. But there is a bright side my friends, if its possible. I have an chevy truck that was crushed in the rear by a falling tree (ironic huh?) and was curious if the front clip could be swapped from the truck to the Jeep. Fabrication is not a problem. But was curious of how it so I figured I'd ask the internet. Haha. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Well. This is true. Just more curious of degree of difficulty. Also. The why is I run a lot of sand drags and such. Looking for something to step up with. If I can try to do something to make it different. I will.

Well, if by "clip" you mean, the fenders, grille, and other cosmetic things then yes, it would be possible. Extremely stupid in my opinion but, definitely possible. I, however, am assuming you're talking about the whole front end, frame and all. That would be nearly impossible without a RIDICULOUS amount of fabrication. The XJ is a thin, unibody. That truck has a full frame that is quite a bit thicker than the unibody rails on an XJ. The amount of fab required would be insane. Besides, Cherokee's don't have a very long wheel base. Sand drag rigs are always long, low, and narrow.
