Just finished stripping the jeep, it's ready to be inspected on monday.
I'm already tempted with a yellow 2001 4banger with 2"BB, 4" rough country lift, lockers, 4.88 gears and 33*12.5 maxxis mudzillas :naughty:
Wish me luck  :wall:

As they say, when thrown , it's best to get right back in the saddle!! Good luck with the "new" Jeep!

I have a question that could decide the fate of my Wrangler  :pot:

I've seen a lot of rotting CJ's on junkyards here so i need to know how hard is putting an entire CJ front on a TJ?  hood, fenders, grille, everything.  I've seen people doing it easily on YJ's because they share the same tub. Has anyone seen it on TJ?

I'm not sure if I have seen a CJ clip on a TJ.  I don't think it will fit, nor look good. The TJ hood grill, fenders, etc, are a few inches wider.  I think it's about 4-5".   I've seen a TJ clip on a YJ and it didn't look that great.  I guess if you're 100m away it might convince you but otherwise it looked halfassed.  How about you get a TJ rolling chassis then drop a YJ or CJ tub on it and use a CJ grill?   :lol:

I'm analyzing all possibilities since my insurance company mysteriously lost my insurance policy when they merged with another company  :rant:, i hope they find it.
I thought about the CJ front because i know a lot of people who would love to have a CJ with modern electronics and that could circulate everyday in the city ( dumb government has a lot of restrictions for vehicles without an original catalytic converter), but if it's not going to look good then probably it's not worth it.

We were just having this discussion on the JeepsUnlimited TJ forum last week....I think the consensus was it is not worth the trouble.

I think a YJ tub on a TJ frame would be awesome.  Actually, that's what Chrysler did back in 1993 when they were running the prototype through the Rubicon.  You'd get the new and the old.  Then swap a CJ-7 front clip on there and it would be really sharp.   :thumb:
