Default Adjusting Odometer

So I've been fixing up an 87' Cherokee Pioneer 4.0L IL6, and I need to replace the Instrument Cluster in the Dash. The problem is, I found one on ebay but the Odometer reads 187,000 miles and my Jeep only has 92,413. I'm wondering if there is a way to adjust the new Odometer before I put the new cluster in?

Also, since I have an AM only radio in there right now, if I were to find an AM/FM factory Jeep tape deck for this, will I need to change out the antenna as well for FM radio?

If a Jeep speedo is like a lot of other speedos I don't think you can turn them backward. Keeps car lots from selling you a vehicle with the wrong mileage. In Va. I think you take it to a state police headquarters or the DMV and they fill out papers and put a sticker on the vehicle verifing the mileage.

Should plug right in. I might have a spare stock am/fm tape deck somewhere. How much would you pay for it?
I suppose if you had an electric drill connected to the cable for the speedo, you could just spin it forwad till it rolls over 999,999 and back to zero and go to whatever mileage you need. Check locally and see if you can have it all certified. Or, you can always take pics, write down all info etc.
