How do I change the front bumper on a 2000 Jeep?

You must remove the entire front bumper and you will want to remove the radiator as well. There really isn't enough room there.

Remove headlights.
To remove the front bumper, there are plastic clips around wheel well and under the front bumper. Then there are a couple of bolts under the hood and two bolts on the side (look from wheel well up). The whole thing comes off as one piece.

I was able to move (twist) the A/C condensor out of the way and not drain it.

wrong tranny.
the TCM shifts based in this , so
take both tranny to any tranny shop
and say make best out of 2, many can.
you could look in both FSM and see what parts need change out.
CASINGS.
the day of simple swaps are over...
electronic shifter trans are complex. and today even more so.
with ESP, and ETC. far worse........

you should have (sorry) joined Top Jeep forum.
then asked what works. before the leap,,, not much.

get the front end checked for play in the ball joints and steering linkage,

check your metal bumper retainers attached to the front chassis there must be a hidden bolts and nuts thats still on that you havent seen yet remove it and take off the bumper bar( steel bumper)

you can give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails do this stop by your local Jeep dealership in the parts department and they be able to print you off the pictures and diagrams you will need wish you the best of luck Michigan Man

the bigger tire you put on up above 235/75/15 will change the handling of your jeep and will wear out the front steering an suspension parts.I've seen what 31/10-50/15 have done to several jeeps.It just takes the life out of a jeep,even by putting the correct tires back on afterwards when they have traded it in where I work,The handling is not there any more.

under the hood there is sticker with what u need to know

you will need to change your fan relay which is located behind the front bumper on the passenger side

First try some spray on Belt dressing. Available from any Autoparts store !

On the left side of the engine if your looking from the front bumper. There should be six of them in a row. If all else fails follow the lines off of your distributor cap.
