jeepnleo Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 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?

jeepnleo Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reece146 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I couldn't find the images with the CJ front clip - must have deleted them. Here's with TJ front clip: http://moose.ca/horrific/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepnleo Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 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 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepnleo Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 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.
