Z1500 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Looking for the tin trim that goes all the way around the grill and headlights. My truck has is all and I could get it straitened and repainted. But I'd really like to find a new chrome plated set. 1988 if it matters. Any ideas of sources? Part of my search difficulty is I don't even know the proper name to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 They’re just trim pieces. Problem is in 91 Chrysler switched over to a three piece set up. So you can either use the three piece of ask someone to snag those trim pieces from a junk yard Cherokee or Comanche from 84-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Try searching junk yard for similar year XJs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schardein Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I've got both pieces of the driver side headlight bucket if you want to start piecing together a set from separate sources. Stay away from aftermarket pieces, in my experience the headlight buckets don't fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The header panel is shaped just a little differently in the turn signal area, interfering with proper fit. Or it might be the other way around, can't use the older two piece headlight buckets on the newer header panel, I can't remember which. The real problem with the older setup is the upper and lower metal trim pieces. As far as I know they are only available used, and getting harder to find in good shape in the junkyards.
