PEEJ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Will a rear liftgate and taillights from an 88 X.J. fit a 97 X.J. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggilez Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm not sure about the lift gate. but I'm pretty sure the light won't, as the 88 are square and the 97 are rounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEEJ Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Your right,I never noticed that before,I believe the liftgates rounded at the taillight area also,I haven't paid any attention to the 97+ X.J.s A buddy of mine just bought a 97 and was wanting some parts off my 88 doner.Guess they won't work.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incommando Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah '96 was the last year of the original body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 '97+ tail gates are steel and the hinges are inside the hatch, '96 and earlier are pressed fiberglass with hinges on the outside. Lots of other differences as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 People have swapped them in both year directions, but it is a decent amount of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
