95 to a 97 conversion

[Jakitabanana]

Hatch,tailights, front clip and interior (maybe)

it'll look sweet. what are some problems involved in doing the switch that i should know about? / how easily can it be done?

[Ktmracer419]

FUCK the interior
way too much work

hatch needs new hinges

header panel is almost bolt on

mirrors bolt on

do doors too if you want the larger windows

[Jakitabanana]

is tha latch for the hatch the same? or is the hatch and the hinges different?

[Ktmracer419]

to run a 97 hatch on a 96 requires welding part of the new roof in place of old roof

or some ghetto hackjob

yeah the rear hatch doesnt work out... andy found that out last weekend.. the hatches and hinges are different and it just doesnt really work out that well

[Ktmracer419]

ratchet strap that shit

[justtorchit]

hatch and hinges diffrent....

you can make it work... but the easiest way is to use ratchet straps.....

[XJtheXtremeJeep]

ratchet straps also can hold in tail lights as long as you dont have a spare tire in the back that hits the hatch

[Jakitabanana]

theres gotta be some way to make it work lol

[Ktmracer419]

buy a 97 up for hella cheap and transfer over your parts?

probably the easiest thing

if you go on jeepforum or comanche club there are a few threads where someone converts an old comanche interior to new style interior. Lots of work involved.

Just buy a cheap 97 up and transfer over your parts. If you can find one for around 1000, it would probably be worth it after you bought all the parts for the 97, spent all the time tracking shit down, wasting time removing and installing new shit.
