Kinda digging the desert tan, looks good!! When you did the 97>front clip, did you replace the front fenders too? The reason I ask is I have a later model front clip for the MJ, and I got the front fenders too. I don't really want to change the front fenders unless I HAVE too ... and if you used the early model front fenders with the later model header panel, it looks like it matches up well..... and gives me MORE reason NOT to change my front fenders. :yelclap::yelclap:

Andy, they're late model fenders (i sold them to him). I've heard you can make the swap work with the earlier fenders but the 97+ ones will look a lot better

That sucks, yeah, now that I am looking at it closer I can see the rounded top edges. Oh well, guess I'll have a late-fall project for the MJ.

Front fenders are easy to swap, I did my whole 97+ un-retrofit (my 98 came with a 96-down nose on it) in a parking lot with no power, hand tools only, in approximately 45 minutes. The worst part honestly was getting the blasted headlight harness connector plugged in, I absolutely hate those little red plastic safety latches.

The fender and plastic liner come out as a single piece if you just cut a hole through the plastic liner and take a sawzall to the metal strap at the center of the top mounting boltstrip, then chop off the little plastic push pins holding the liner to the inner fender. That strap is gone on my wheeling rig anyways since it interfered with the tires.

Hey atleast you have Jeep projects! The only thing closed to a project is going to be me trying to replace my unit bearings with 1/2 the tools I usually have on the top of a mountain in a crammed student parking lot....:sure:
