Wrangler Hood,grill And Fenders On Mj ???

[jeepnleo]

Ok so i know anything is possible. i would like to know if anyone has done this or has done any research on this.

 

I plan on putting a wrangler front clip on a MJ.

YJ,TJ or JK.

 

i think the width of the JK would work better.

 

i only plan on putting on hood grill and fenders.

 

my questions is how wide is the rear area of each hood.

and how wide is the front of each hood.

 

My guesses would be the yj/tj are much more narrow in the front and back then the MJ.

but i would assume the JK is close to the width in the back but more narrow in the front. i know some body work would be needed.

but i am looking for the least amount.

 

any advice and thoughts?

It's been done on an XJ.

 

Looked horrific. Should be able to find images in google image search.

 

Don't do it.

[Incommando]

yeah about that... :thumbsup:

[jeepnleo]

thanks for the info i will search that. i tried searching for it on a MJ and never even thought to look at an XJ.

[jeepnleo]

so i am on a ship right now and the internet sucks.

i was able to find this

 

 

this guy took a CJ grill and made it fit on xj fenders and hood.

i was thinking more hood and grill. possibly fenders or just custom fenders.

 

that is all i can find

what is your end goal? tire clearance?

Funny; that's what I was thinking. :brows:

I couldn't find the images with the CJ front clip - must have deleted them.

 

Here's with TJ front clip:

thats doesnt look good at all

[jeepnleo]

i am not a big fan of the CJ grill.

 

but i think the TJ photos just need some body work some fenders and a grill and will look better.

 

i think a JK being a little wider may work better.

 

the scrambler would be close to end result.

 

really just trying to be different. tire clearance is just an extra bonus.

[jeepnleo]

my vision think AEV brute TJ but with a MJ.

so wrangler front custom bed.

[jeepnleo]

this with a TJ or JK front end.

Looks like what it missed the toilet on the way out

[jeepnleo]

looks better in my opinion with a filler panel there. this was done in paint. i am sure photoshop and real life will be much better.

[jeepnleo]

all the hatred makes me want to do it more. the way i look at it. it can be done and it is still jeep loyal.

[HOrnbrod]

Wonderful. Go for it then. Prove the haters wrong. Post pics when you are done.

[jeepnleo]

its still am MJ. it still a jeep.

now its time to start measuring and collecting parts.

Good luck ruining an mj. I hope you like it, but I can guatantee you that it will look horrible. Modify the parts going on it, not the chassis...just in case you decide that it doesnt look good.

 

 

...or just buy an lj.

[dasbulliwagen]

I think the JK is WAY too wide for this. I had some extra JK bumpers laying around and wanted to see if they would go on the MJ a while back. They are about a foot too wide. There was no way a JK bumper was going to fit. I think youll have the same issue with the body.

[TylerJY]

I like seeing something new and different, go for it!

[jeepnleo]

thanks for the info on the JK being to wide.

 

 

looking at how the tj is short by a few inches on each side in the rear. i think a jk hood still might work. the front of the grill and the front of the hood just can't be to wide. i know the bumper on a JK is wider then the grill and hood. so there still is a chance.

 

but a TJ looks to be the route.

 

@jeepcpoMJ i do not plan on modifying the front clip/"frame" just in case it doesnt work.

 

i get back from my deployment in dec. i will probably start acquiring all the parts then, i will post pics.
