What's up everybody,
Okay so heres the question. I've got a '92 XJ, best vehicle hands down I've ever had. However I'd love to swap the front clip (piece with the headlights, grill, etc.) with the newer (98+??) model. There's one in the junkyard and it looks very doable, just wondering if anybody had experience or seen someone do it. The only problemI can foresee would be the difference between the fenders for both models, but I'm taking off my flares and cutting soon, so I think that could be fixed. Thanks in advance-
 
This one looks to be a little less involved.

On second glance through non-caffeinated eyes, that's got 97 up mirrors. I think he's just got replacement header panel, grill, etc. Sorry. Follow the first link. (Does seem like a tremendous amount of effort though).
