cherokee nose swap??

XJ Beater · May 5, 2009

anyone ever changed the front of their cherokee to something else? besides the obvious waggy grille. i was thinking more like a wrangler or cj nose or mabye a grand waggy nose, i know its probably not a bolt on deal but anythings possible, any ideas???

A 1965 CJ7 is a direct bolt on. The headlights and turn signals do require some new wiring, but other then that, its all good.

Direct bolt on??

'65 CJ7? I have my doubts about that one.

It's called humor.

Check out Cruzin Illusion's XJ. He has a build thread at jeepforum, but he is also a NAXJA

member.

lol i know nothing is direct bolt on, i mean as far as kind of sort of lining up, or easier then somethin else. i just want something different. i made a nissan hardbody front end fit my old s10 blazer, didnt need alot of effort for it to work. just looking for something unique rather then the same old waggy grille or jeep 2500

Its called buying a different car. The front nose is included.

Only stipulation is, you need a front sway bar. With all the sheet metal you lose, the front gets a little light in the corners.

Ya, '65 CJ7's are a good year. I've heard of some people having trouble finding them depending on location, but they are out there.

Starboard, are you sure the wiring needs to be modified, I thought the wiring was bolt on?
