Here we go guys, some pics of my front 08+ conversion mod, plus info.




Besides the front bumper cover, headlights, grille and air dam, most parts like screws and such can be reuse from your 05-07. The diagram below shows what additional parts you will need to make this conversion.

You also need # 3, part # 04806226AA, 6 of them
Also the actual front bumper part # is 68033744AB


Numbers 10, 15 and 24 you don't really need. But I would recommend them for a tight fit. ;) Number 25 is the same hardware that attaches the 05-07 air dam to the bumper, but I think you will need an extra one. Im not sure because I've got all of those plastic parts new. Any questions, feel free to PM me. :thumbsup:





It wasn't as expensive I thought it would be... Ebay, is definitely your friend!
Very easy to do, anyone with a garage can do it without breaking a sweat. I really love the 08+ look and of course, those awesome OEM HID headlights. :D

BTW, I wanna thank Scott for the info on the HIDs and Mario for fixing a lousy paint job.

JG ROCKS!!! :thumbsup:
Cheers

Wow talk about a big difference. It's almost like seeing Jarred from Subway's before and after. Totally different rides. Man both your's and Fabian's are sweet. I've got a stock 06 black Overland. I think I'm gonna go with a side exhaust, SRT top rails, minor lift with some beefier tires, and murder some parts out for my exterior. Man yall have no idea how glad I am that I found this site full of Jeep uber nerds...and I mean that in the most flatterring way like you wouldn't believe. :thumbsup: And now I see the 08 front conversion and want that too. Damn you guys showing off the awesomeness.

Man have you gone a long way since these were taken. I think ijeep is right. Unless this is a stage of a process like in your case, a front conversion only is off somehow. At minimum there should be some 20", a drop and the roof rails. Thanks for posting the pics.

yeah i immediately ordered the side skirts, rails, mirror caps etc. etc. I think the sides and 20's should be a requirement....but thats just me...the arrogant asshole
