Hope this is in the proper place, lol.

Simply put, now that winter is here again, I'm reminded why I liked my 92 cherokee better than my 97. The 97+ dashboards have that dumb center defogger vent (which works great if I sit on the center console ), while the 96- have the separate left and rights.
Has anyone on here swapped in an older style dash to replace the newer version?
Yes I'm aware it will lack the RH air bag, but honestly, I think it's more imprtant to be able to see out of the windsheild, lol. I kind of figured I need the entire assembly, dash with ducts, keep the 97 cluster, and hvac controls, but wanted to toss a line out to if anyone else has done it, and what I might expect.

I wonder if you could just re-duct the 97 dash?? I have never tried it, but it might be an intersting project

That is another thought. I don't how I would do it without completely butchering the plastic though, (reason for a complete swap out). I'll have look a bit more into that, thanks.
