BryGuy Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I love the old Jeep wagoneer with the Rhino grill (slopes forward, round headlights). Has anyone seen/heard of someone converting the front of a Comanche to incorporate the Rhino grille/hood? Does anyone know the demensions of the Rhino grille (height and width)?

Zenobian_84 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Don't qoute me on this, but I believe that an FSJ (comparing a J-Truck to a Comanche) is about 4-5 inches wider than an MJ/XJ. My suggestion would be to measure your front clip (side to side) and add about 5 inches. If you want to incorporate the Rhino grille on an MJ, you have to swap over the front clip from an FSJ. I'd suggest scouring over on IFSJA.org. Those guys over there could probably give you more insight than us MJ guys over here could.
cruiser54 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 You mean like this? http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail ... dac2225420 I clicked on it. LOL.
Dookie Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 The fsj stuff is alot bigger. You would have to do some fabricating and fiberglass work (obviously) if u really wanted it.

Dave Stark Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 This is about as good as it gets as far as that idea goes: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30459
my86mj Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 if i had a dog that looked like that i would shave its but and teach it to walk backwards!
BryGuy Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 This is about as good as it gets as far as that idea goes: That's the Razor Grille which is another fav of mine. Looks like the Razor Grille would be much easier to incorporate. I love the front, but dislike the fenders..... to each his own. That's part of the reason I want to do something like this..... to have something different that I really like. Do you have a link to where you obtained these pics? Is there a write-up or better yet an owner that I can fire off some questions too? Thanks :clapping:
Dave Stark Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 This is all there is that i know of, i only remembered it because i found it...interesting. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30459
BryGuy Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 This is all there is that i know of, i only remembered it because i found it...interesting.viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30459 Thanks. I also found a thread HERE, that showed a picture of the center part of the Rhino Grill: Didn't realize just how tall the Rhino Grille was. I'm still tempted to try the Razor Grille though.
HOrnbrod Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Build a cowl hood around it with the grille attached to the hood, as the W124 Mercedes models did.
yellaheep Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Good gawd......... that's hideous. Looks like a Ford Courier. Or an old Falcon/Ranchero......... ick.
