97-01 Convert. Anyone running XJ rear bumper/endcap/flares?

[Sic2000xj]

is it possible to use the 97-01 xj rear bumper with the endcaps and the rear flares on the back of an MJ????

 

 

if so, show me some pics, it sounds like it would look pretty cool!

Anything could be possible, depending on how much fabrication you're willing to do.

 

But an XJ rear bumper will not fit on an MJ without a lot of work. Also XJ rear wheel well and MJ rear wheel well are different, making the rear flares not interchangeable.

I know, dead topic.

 

To clarify, the bumpers from any year XJ won't fit the MJ w/o a lot of work; or just the 97-01 bumpers?

XJ rear bumpers are different than MJ rear bumpers.

A little cutting and plastic welding and you can make the 97+ flares work.

 

See my old tuck's flares in this post
