Car RamRod Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm sorry to ask a question which I'm sure has been covered, but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. What all is needed to put a 97+ nose on my 86 mj. I don't have a stock bumper or endcaps on the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90PioSport99 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've also done it but to an 88. Like on mine since the engine bay was made for the 4.0 it was no problem as far as the hood latch and such goes. The 86 was only made for the shorter engines with a different hood though. You may have to swap the hood and radiator crossmember as well, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 you won't need to change anything internal to do the swap, just hang the fenders (if you even want to) and bolt the front end on. you will just have to get the 97+ headlight harness or adapt yours to work. no hood change will be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car RamRod Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 thanks for the replies. I'm gonna pull the parts from a junker, so all I should need is the grill, header panel, lights, and harness right? And for the 86 specific concerns, I'm doin a 4.0 swap right now and swapping over the rad support so all should be well with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroader461 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 you don't need the harness...the headlights are the same..just on the opposite side...the parking light you can modify the bulb holder...and the turn signal just pops in...the pre97 has 1 turn signal bulb..the 97 and up has two...i just ran the 1 and it was fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 if you have a good older hood for your engine (i.e 4.0 vs 86 2.8 style/2.5 style), you do not need a new hood. they're the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car RamRod Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 yea I have a 4.0 hood so I should be ok. I see you guys buying new fenders.....is there a difference between old/new fenders? I remember reading something about not needing new style fenders with an non stock style bumper but I'm not sure. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded their parts book. Here seems to be the breakdown in parts (if you bought everything, and bought it new) * Fender rh JPCH01A1 $65.75 * Fender lh JPCH01A2 $65.75 * Grille - black JPCH10A0 $8.95 * Headlamp Door rh - black JPCH15A1 $3.95 * Headlamp Door lh - black JPCH15A2 $3.95 * Front Panel JPCH49A0 $36.75 * Marker Lamp Assembly rh JPCH80A1 $7.95 * Marker Lamp Assembly lh JPCH80A2 $7.95 * Park/Signal Lamp Assembly rh JPCH85A1 $9.95 * Park/Signal Lamp Assembly lh JPCH85A2 $9.95 Total of $220.90 Not bad... since i've made a half dozen j/y trips and only ever found 2 97+ xj's, thought both were heavily damaged in the front end.
