pascounet71 a écrit :merci à jeeper64 , pour la photo , dans mon esprit je trouvais ça plus laid , mais là bof, en fait ce qui me gêne le plus c'est que le capot ne s'aligne pas avec la calandre....
La on est devant un double hybrid...
Si c'est une calandre de TJ sur un YJ...
Les clignotants sont rapportés car le TJ n'a pas de cligno dans la calandre...
Peut etre un YJ avec calandre de TJ et cligno de JK...
Vu la certitude de steph.92 sur le fait que c'est une YJ parcequ il y à des lames on est en droit de dire que les CJ n'en n'ont pas .
PS : C'est une boutade, je sais tres bien que les CJ ont des lames C'est d'ailleur à ça qu on reconnait une vrai Jeep. C'est pas comme celle avec des ressorts.
YJ 4.0 91 SKY 2.5" BODY 3" 33/12.5/15 E85 (by Takeoff ) et tout plein de truc dans le moteur WH 3.0 CRD 2006 hybride ( 70% JEEP 30% MERCEDES )réhausse 2"
The first thing you need to do is remove the YJ grill & finally get rid of those SQUARE headlights :biggrin1: :sneak: :rof:
1) removing the fan shroud by unbolting it from the radiator
2) removing the radiator by unbolting it from the grill
3) unbolting the inner fender well bolts that hold the grill in place (8 each side)
4) loosening the upper rod supports from the grill
5) removing the body mount bolt on the underside of the grill.
6) removing the wiring harness from the grill
Now that the YJ grill is gone... Slide the TJ grill in to place.
You may notice your fenders may bow out at this point. This is due to the fact the TJ grill is wider at the bottom. This is not a big deal. Take a body hammer and gently pushed the fenders back along the grill line until everything was square. You don't need to worry about being too exact at this point. The fenders will pull back nice and tight when the inner fender bolts are back in place.
Now bolt the lower body mount to the bottom of the grill.
The body mount should line right up. The bolt hole on the TJ grill seems to be in the same location as the YJ's. Be sure to keep the OE shims in place.
Now you will need to remove the upper rod support brackets from the YJ grill
To do this, drill out the 2 spot welds on the bracket and use an angle grinder to cut the other welds. You should be able to break them off with a hammer after that.
Now you need to take the upper support brakets and weld them to the TJ grill.
Just center the brackets on the existing bolt holes on the YJ grill and weld away.
At This point you will need to move the adjusting nuts in or out until the top of the grill is in the desired location. Set it so the top of the grill sticks out a touch like on a stock TJ. This makes the gap look a little less noticable as well.
OK, Now we need to drill new holes for the inner fender bolts
This may take a couple of tries to get the holes in the proper location. There will be 3 bolt holes on each side of the TJ grill you will need to drill for.
Now that you have your inner fender bolt holes drilled you should be able to put in the bolts. The fenders that are spread out and dented from hammering will now suck in really nicely after you snug the bolts.
At this point, you can take your original wiring harness wiring harness off the YJ grill and pop it on the TJ grill lights.
That's about all there is to it of course you will need to do a little hammering and bending here and there, but hey.... It's a jeep. That's what it's for.
What about the front signal lights?
Grab a set of 2 3/4" round trailer lights from a local parts store. Measured the diameter of the light bezal and used a correct sized hole say to cut two circles in the TJ grill. Be sure to apply some paint over the bare metal after the cut.
Take the OE square blinker housings and cut the back end of the light (where the bulb plugs in) and used contact cement to mate it to the round lens. The OE wiring harness plugged in perfectly after that.
(a final picture painted and with the signal lights installed.)
This may look like a big project since the pictures show the jeep undergoing a full restoration, but the process really isn't that bad. You could do it over the course of a weekend without any body work or paint.
The end result looks quite nice & better that that SQUARE stuff in my opinion. There are two small gaps in the upper corners of the grill due to the fact that the TJ grill is a slightly different shape than the YJ hood. The gap is there, but not that bad.
Compliments of Jimeny Krickets.
