Hey all I have a quick question.. and yes i did post this in the cherokee forum also just incase anyone was wondering...I have a 92 comanche that i smacked the front end up on..no frame damage or anything just needs a new radiator and basically the front grill and stuff and im working on finding a donor cherokee..well turns out i found a 93 thats very local for 750 dollars that i can snag some parts from my question is will all the things i need be compatible between the two..im talking about parts such as radiator grill head lights a few pulleys the fan and a few other parts up in the front..just wanna check and make sure things will work before i spend the money let me know thanks!

Everything up front will work for you (assuming they have the same engines).

does the transmisson matter..manual vs auto? the one that i have found is a 6 cylinder but its auto..mine is a 5 speed HO..

Only if you start using parts of the wire harness, throttle body or transmission. Plus the radiator will have a lower section that is dedicated to cooling the auto trans, but just plug the holes and it'll work fine (assuming the radiator is in good shape).

alright and how about the 6 cylinder 4.0 HO..sorry if i sound like a tool im assuming that all the 6 cylinders are 4.0s but what about the HO..does this have any effect?

The 92 and 93 engines are identical.

a few pulleys the fan and a few other parts up in the front

The basic chassis parts will be the same, or at least workable, engine parts like pulleys may not work for you. The easiest way to check is by going to http://www.autozone.com/ and looking at the part numbers for the parts you want between the two different models. If the pulley (for example) on one is a different part number than the pulley listed for the other one then its a good bet the parts are different. Just a 1/4" difference in the diameter of a pulley may not even be noticeable by eye, but can make a significant difference on actual design purpose.

87 to 90 4.0Ls interchange. '91 to '96ish interchange.

Essentially everything ahead of the B pillar (where the door catches) is the same for the same year XJ/MJ with the same engine.
