Default dash swap?

Recently purchased a 95 after rolling my 97 i miss the old dash, not a big fan of the woodgrain. Is there any possible way to put the newer style dash in? Has anyone ever done this? And if so how do i go about taking it out?

from what i know the two dashes are different due to the redesign that occurred in 96 / 97. You might be able to make it work if you did some reworking.

Yeah i went to my local junkyard today, plenty of jeeps but Everything had been stripped off of them that were of any use, i think im just going to fix the transfer case on this one and resell it and find a good 00 to 01 model. Theres just something about the newer style that i miss and just cant quite put my finger on. Basically everything i guess.

Anything is possible! There are mounting bolts welded to the body. These bolts hold the dash on.Cut the old ones out and weld the new ones in(after removing the dash). You should make a pattern from th 97 mounting points then weld them on the 95.
