Default Body removal questions...

Is it possiable to swap a 1987 cherokee's body with a 1990 model? I picked up a donor jeep, and the body is rough. The 87's is pretty straight with decent paint. They are both 4 door laredo 4x4 models if this helps. Thanks in advance!

^ im sure he knows that, he's asking about body panels. I'm pretty sure it can be done, and i know the doors and interchangeable.

Its pretty much straight forward, if you were asking about like a 90 and a 99, then you def have some sheet metal skills that will have to come into play, other than that, your swap should just be a matter of swapping the stuff that unbolts.

there is no frame, so you can not swap the body.

you can swap all doors, windows, front fenders, hood, grille....but you can not swap the body.
