crossed over to the dark side....

yes....finally i have crossed over to the dark side of jeeps....coil springs and ROUND headlings . i'm pickin up a 97 TJ in about an hour....why'd the stupid 2.5L in my YJ have to die . but its a really nice jeep, clean and all(not for long anyway ).

anywho....my big question is will the bumpers off my YJ fit onto my TJ. it looks like the rear will, but the front looks like the holes might be spaced to far apart on the top. hopefully this jeep won't stay to small for long, i wanna put a 2" BB on and then transfer my 32's and AR-767's over the the TJ.....

sorry to tell you, but it will take some modification. some of the fab guys would know better. Welcome to the "dark side". To run 32's you will want to extend your bumpstops or you will kill your fenders with a BB. I know, I did it. GL and happy trails, AL
