Eric A Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Aloha from Hawai'i! New - renewed? MJ owner. I'll post it's pedigree soon. I'll be restoring it with a few mods ... maybe? 1st some questions for the entire forum/ club: How much of a similar vintage XJ Cherokee is reusable on an MJ? There are fewer and fewer of these trucks as you all know, however old Cherokee's are plentiful. Got parts? Next question: for the slightly modified group ... I'm thinking of fabing a front grill / headlight bezel to create a older J10 type grill with round headlights, turn signals and smaller/ narrower grill. Anyone done this or scene this done? More to come, glad to be here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The cab forward is basically an XJ. Most of it will cross over. There are some small parts differences and a few pieces that are MJ specific. I know the parking brake set up is completed different. Good luck hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All around mj Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Everything from the dash forward will fit. Front doors on a four door XJ will fit the MJ. Engine, transmission, and transfer case will swap right in. Front suspension and drive line also. As long as it’s from the same era all those components should swap over, however high output and renix electrical and head/exhaust manifold are different and they switched from vacuum disconnect to non-vacuum disconnect on the front axle on high output as well. Coolant systems are easily swappable from closed to open as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
