I remember reading a similar thread not too long ago. From what I understand, nobody has done the dash because it doesn't mount up right because it's a different style dash so it would take some fabrication. The center console pretty much swaps right in and then you have cupholders in your Jeep that came stock without them, while still retaining the stock look.

a 96's door hinges are completely different from a 99's. you may be able to swap the 96 hinges onto the 99 doors though. not sure on that dont quote me. lol

The front end will be a direct swap.

Here is a write up on new style doors on a older XJ...http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticl...ade/index.html

The dash Ive heard of one person doing but it was a major job. (wiring, a/c ducts etc)
