Gjeep

The 97+ fenders aren't full length in the front. There would be a gap bottom side near the bumper end cap. I considered doing this...and the only way I would do the swap keeping the 84-96 XJ bumper is by cutting/ welding the "lower" portion of a pre-97 fender in this area.

I paid $350 from a east coast dealer. It was missing a few parts. Last time I checked they go for $750-ish complete.

I'm converting my non-AC 89 MJ using a factory kit. Jeepco...sounds like you're running a 95 XJ complete AC system. I wonder how similar the wiring/ fittings would be between the Renix years and Chryco. I'm guessing you stripped the donor or all behind the dash wiring and hoses, etc. No issues with AC cutoff switch, etc by mixing years?
