I was wondering if this would be possible..
i Have a 94 blk ltd ZJ and i was wondering if newer model front end like the 98+ or the new 05 hemi front would fit on mine.. i just have 5 questions anbody have any knowledge on this??
1. is it possible or not
2. is it easy will it bolt right in?
3. will it have to be custom and a lot of $
4. or will it be too hard to even try
5. will the bolt pattern and measurements be the same to mine

maybe some flows?
also researching if 99 or 05 front end will bolt in or is it not possible or will it be really hard and not worth it
i would really like a front end conversion

everything is different...dimensions, mounting locations, etc. it wouldn't even be worth trying.

Well,
you could take our word on this but, it looks like you don't want that.
Why don't you go first?

i believe thats a navigator front bumper. but its still very nice..im thinking about going ahead and doing my front end conversion probably to a 99 frony just beacause i like that headlight style. i guess ill be the 1st jeep to do a front end conversion. i did the same thing to my 98 integra.. i changed the front USDM style to jdm style i had to replace the 2 fenders hood front bumper and headlights and the radiator support.. if its under 2500 ill do it. thats how much i payed for my integra

The sarcasm you read is because BK answered your thread very quickly and very accurately. Now, if you want to spend the money to completely reconfigure the front of your unibodied ZJ to fit a WJ or WK (IFS also) front end, go for it. It is a fact that you'll spend a ton of money and probably need a custom body/ paint shop to make it work.
Now, if there is anything about the ZJ or WJ that you need or would like to ask, step up and do so.

DUDE!!
Lighten up!
It was not a simple question! (if it was so simple, why would you ask?)
No one needs or looks for idiot sarcasm, a Jeep forum may not be the place for some one like you, we all get our licks around here and your level of sensitivity maybe way to high.
Have you tried pirate4x4, they may be the right guys for that kind of question.

Newjeepdriver, you've had several opinions given to you about this.

that i have and thanks i apologize for the level of sensitivity just caught me in an off day. thanks for decaur for answering my questions. and my reasoning is i want my jeep to stand out, in my opinion i have a nice jeep but wanna make it nicer. its been brought to my attn with the money that im goin to spend could go towards a nicer jeep but i dont wanna deal with monthly payments i'd rather spend money towards mod and making my jeep a one of a kind and not just like everybody else
like my moon roof no 94 zj have power sliding moonroofs that comes stock right?
