XJ-8 Grill (Round headlight grill)

[Joe]

Would that make your XJ an H4 in the Jeep version?

where did you paint your cherokee? I've always wanted my cherokee to be that color some day. Do you have a reference number for the color?

It was a custom hot rod color my wife picked out. It was called sunfire orange. You can probably get the paint from a Sherwin Williams Automotive paint shop.

It looks a lot like a Toyota FJ-55!

Sweet look!!

I didnt read through every page so I dont know if this was said but....the area from the headlight to the side marker needs something.... I think it would look better if it was 'blended' where it mets the corner marker.... it looks great but just sticks out too much.... maybe if you removed the side marker and made a panel to fill in the spot, and transition it into the grill. Then find a marker that 'fits' (styling wise) well with the grill and xj....or add a marker, like the original one from under the headlight, along side of the headlight running vertically? Possibly add some thin black stripes to outline the lights and grill....?

I think it is a cool idea regardless....and props for the work.

WOW its so different im still surprized and cant decided if i like it or not only thing i woulda done different is the paint but i guess your goin with the color of the bumper and yea you seem very creative try to blend the corner markers better keep up the amazing work

 

[Littlewhitexj]

I love it!
Only thing I would do now would be to paint the trim around the side-marker lights the same silver as everything else, I think the chrome is making it look odd.

Looks awesome

here is my idea on it. it was really pritty. works well with all the tight trails in oregon

 

[shelbyluvv]

where are the front turn signals and running lights? It is not road worthy without those two items and it looks just plain ugly!

It's probably not road legal without the fender flares either. But it looks like a very nice trail rig.

i have bolt on feader flares(sp) and mud flaps but it took 30mins befor and after a trail run
the truck was till a few mouths ago 100% street legal

first off sorry if im bursting a bubble, but...ive seen it (a thread somewere not sure were but its here on naxja, comancheclub, or jeepsunlimited)some high school kid moded xj fiberglass and came up with something verry similar(autoshop prodject)

but i do agree it looks good... maybe fit it to a '97+ clip to blend the corners better

 

[Patriot4x4]

wow this is an old one... but nice work, not my taste, but very original

Flares really aren't that big of an issue in Colorado

I dont' care what anyone says, that it one awesome looking jeep!!! It keeps the lines of the original but gives it an old school flavor with the round lights and the CJ grill. $.02 Great Job !!!!:clap:

I've only seen 1 other XJ with round headlights until now. CooL!!! It did look good with the grill in for all you purists. Easy swap.
