Yup, the 97+ front clip just makes an MJ even more awesome than they are stock! Congrats Dr. thunder! It's nice to see a MJ win.

Switching the front end on my '88 is definitely something I want to do.

I do need to get some more pictures of it's current setup. I just finished up the build about two weeks ago.
Near future plans (summer) lockers front and rear, dana 44 front, front bumper, and either a 360 or a 350 sometime later this year, still deciding if i want to stay manual or go auto. If i decide to go auto definately going to do the 350 with a 700r4.
