I'm going to be replacing my front grill assembly and both front fenders, I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me, or if anyone could tell me how hard this is too do. Don't have and experience with body work but it seems somewhat simple... Help, anyone?

The Tj is probably one of the easiest vehicles to do this on...very low parts count...and mostly very straightforward eith no hidden fasteners or stupid plastic bits...the only suggestion I would give is to get most of it rough assembled with the bolts loose and then really take your time as you tighten it all up to make sure it all aligns nicely...good luck!...another thing I do is grease the sheet metal pieces where they attach together and use grease or anti seize on all the bolts...greasing the seems will result in some dirty seeping for a while but goes a long way towards keeping out mud and water and preventing rust.
