Nice! If I got it, it will get ALL the extra lights off.

For sure. I am not a fan of the lights. There are a couple of rigs running around here like that. I was mainly impressed with the interior. Looks like he used the door panels from the grand Cherokee too. Pretty sweet if you ask me :mrgreen:

WAY too much going on with that rig, but the dash does make a lot of difference in the interior's look.
I could do without the hood scoops, too. :?

Yeah, it's a really busy rig. Like I said, mainly I like the dash swap. Can't see the door panels very well, but they are grand Cherokee dash panels. Wish I had a better shot of them so I could see how they look in the rig.

Should have named this thread "sweet dash swap" instead. Not a huge fan of the outside of it, but the inside is neat.

I believe you can edit the title of the thread, if it really bothers you.
Just edit your original post and it should bring it up with the topic line in an editable bar.

Thanks mark! Not that it bothered me too much. Just thought maybe it better explains the original reason I posted this :mrgreen:

Would be a neat swap for a first gen, but don't know how you would get anything to work with the diesel engine. Would be awesome to have a working in dash tach :D
