Does anyone know of a site where I could buy the header panel, grille and light bezels...?
Or go to keystone or whatever your local body shop supply place is, I get a header panel for like 50 bucks I think, it might have been 80. They usually give you a body shop price if you buy multiple parts. And you can get matched paint there too.

Right on. I'm not too worried about matching paint. Its going to have 4 different colors on it (jy fenders and hood lol) so I'm gonna give it an od green paintjob.

It cut me off for some reason and put a % there wtf?

I also said I am going to check locally but haven't had much luck with auto shops around here. And I found a place on eBay that's got a header panel, grille, light bezels and marker lights for $115 shipped. All new. By far the best deal I've seen.

Do you not have a local junkyard? One of the pick and pulls around here charged me 40$ for the grille both headlight bezels and all the lenses.

I could be mistaken. And, anyone can correct me if necessary. But, I believe you also need new fenders, to fit that 97-up front end..

I do. I've been several times and haven't found a decent one. They are all cracked or incomplete. They want $50 for just the header panel and $80 for one with everything on it. If I could find one in good shape I'd go that route but for $50 more it'll all be new.

My problem now is the new one doesn't come with the headlight mount pieces (you know the metal part they sit in.) so I need to see if my old ones will work because they aren't damaged.

I don't think I do. All the places it bolts onto seem to be the same. Maybe I'm wrong though. Anyone confirm this?

so i just had a quick question whenever my cherokee gets to fifty five the steering wheel starts to shake back and forth untill i get to around sixty or sixty five...ive checked the u-joints front and back and i dont think those are the problem....could it simply be my tires needing a balance or possibly my wheel bearings?
