Renegade hood on a non-Renegade liberty

[Jeepin05]

Hmm...I questioned this when I first joined and it seemed I only needed the Renegade Hood and the Renegade grill. It's ok though...after a few years the curvy hood has grown on me .

I like my non flat hood.

And changing over to the Renegade hood does NOT require fender changes to '05+ models. They are the same, regardless of Renegade or Sport or Limited. As previously mentioned, it takes a bit of work but some have done it. (and some have also done the reverse!!!) Hood, Grille/Grille Support, Rad Support, Latch, bam.

.... for an '02-'04 yes it does because ALL of that (read: Entire front end) needs to be updated to the newer style.

Funny you should say that. Your WK has a really flat hood. Rengade envy perhaps?

After looking at a Renny I think if you get an latch support from a renny, change out the grill and header support I believe it will fit.

Marlon I had thought about doing this myself, I was told though and I wouldn't believe what a Jeep employee had to say til I tried it myself but that the latches from the 05's would work with a Renny or Sport hood regardless of which is there.

my WK hood isn't entirely flat. it's pretty much just like a KJ... it has very noticeable "humps" above the headlights. that's what i meant by "non-flat hood".

and you know what? i dunno what i was thinking because i think you're right, the latch doesn't need to be changed... but there is NO difference in fenders at all.
