I asked this on other forums but never got a answer any one do a 05 renegade front end on a sport? Now I know you would need hood grille and rad support but what else? I have been comparing part number's and can not find the right answer |

I have a feeling you're going to have to do a little trial and error here to find out the exact answer. I'd say your best bet is to find someone with a Renne and buy them a beer (or other social lubricant) and stare/compare. The CRD factor may actually play into it. I remember comparing the front clip of my CRD to a friends's gasser of the same vintage led us to believe the rad support and grille are positioned slightly differently in the CRD to allow for the intercooler. Now, if that means the hood is different I don't know, but I'll bet a measuring tape won't lie. Dan |

Yeah I don't know any one around here with a 05+ renegade/rocky mountain liberty...The 05+ liberty and CRD rad support have the same part number's so they should be same just can't find any info on the rennys... |

MoD, Would you mind posting some pictures of under your hood and your hood latch and such? It would really help me out thanks! |

i have looked into this a few times you may just need hood grill and header panel or you could need a lot more also if you have thought about doing a 02 04 front end on a 05 07 you are going to need a lot more parts i did some test fitting a few months back    06 washer bottle  02 washer  02 grill in the back 06 grill on top |
