Title: 1-piece TJ front end
Post by: Hunter02 on August 13, 2013, 12:01:03 PM

Is there a chance that anyone knows where to pick up a one-piece front end for a TJ? Just found an '01 that has damage to EVERY piece of sheet metal forward of the cowl. I've looked and looked and found zip.
Thanks Hunter

make sure the frame is not bent, if it is might as well pass on it.
also, make sure it's not a write-off/wrecked from insurance, you could have trouble registering it if that's the case as it would be for parts only and the VIN be marked as to not be eligible for registration or non-insurable.

a salvage yard would be your best bet for parts

A fiberglass front end?  Haven't seen one of those in a long time and never for a TJ.  You'd be be be better getting a front clip off a junk yard jeep.

Campbell makes a hood with some integrated fenders, but with no inner fenders.  http://www.campbellent.com/testimonials.html

Those are high-hoods though.  They're not really good if you plan on driving on the highway though.  They vibrate a bit.
