Post by: wildwood on April 18, 2012, 03:39:20 PM: Why?

JP did this toa YJ ..... you need hood, grill shell, fenders optional, depending what you hope to achieve.
A Bit of gingery pokey to make it fit

Can't see it being any more difficult for a TJ

Depends which CJ

Go the whole hog and get an MB grill to fit. Might need to make a custom hood, but there's no compound curves so it has to be doable (Should be reasonably easy to do in ally). Would look uber cool with tube fenders. :icon_super:

Go CJ2 A. You can get em for about a ton then, tube fenders and cut your hood to fit or two hoods and join em or just use a flat section flanked by tube. The rest is for ventilation.......

even seen it done on Pirate :jpshakehead:

Post by: Nosebolt on April 18, 2012, 06:23:23 PM: biggest problem i see is the hight of the grill, from memory the TJ grill is quite low compared to a CJ

the CJ7 grill is 20" high as near as dam it
