First off, I'd like to say without olypopper to answer my constant barrage of questions, I'd probably never accomplish anything.

My wife hit a moose going 60+mph this past december, and since it's finally thawed out here in Alaska I decided to finally stop putting things off. I'll post progress pictures along the way.

Right after wife hit a yearling

When I finally stopped being lazy and pulled it out of a garage (I replaced a door between the two pictures! Still has a terrible time lining up.)
Image

Where I stopped for the day, I need the bracket that sits behind the grill and supports both headlights, or I need to figure out how to combine the parts jeeps older one and my newer one to support the headlights and then I'm pretty much street legal.
Image

I'm probably going to order an ARB bumper instead of spending whatever atrocious amount they want for a stock one.

More to follow.

FYI the fender and flares on the 2002-2004 are different from the 2005-2007.

front bumper cover is fairly cheap, but the plastic support below it is pricey.

The header panel is what you want for holding the headlights and cosmetic grill:

I noticed the difference in bumpers *AFTER* I installed the other one, but it looks like nothing a little trimming can't fix.

Thanks for the links! I Appreciate you.

Unfortunately, what looks like an easy 90$ fix doesn't ship to Alaska, so I guess that header panel is out.

For the grill support panel,

Google this part# 55156755AF

Rockauto has CAPA certified panel for a pretty good price. I got mine there.

Understood about shipping to AK. It will make everything a little harder.

Well, the $80 header panel cost $205 after shipping - but it's on it's way!
