Default Pre97 woodgrain dash

First off, I'd like pictures of all the wood grain dashes installed if you guys have them.. Also what models had them?

At least Wagoneers, Briarwoods, Limiteds, and Countries could have them (also had faux wood on interior door panels). Not sure if others like Pioneer, Laredo, etc could have it or not. I've seen two distinctly different grains throughout the years--an earlier, lighter one with metal accenting and a later, darker one without any accents.

thanks! I like the darker one. Assuming the door panels are pretty rare?

My 96 Country had them. Pretty sure if it has a woodgrain dash, it'll have the woodgrain door pieces as well... You're not going to find this stuff in a store; you're going to have to hit the junk yards for this. The Waggies and some of the early Cherokees (Briarwoods at least, I think) had little emblems in theirs as well.

Oh, and here is a 3rd slight variation on the dash piece I found in a Briarwood. No metallic accenting, a medium tone, and looks like some moulding around the openings.

I got a full set from a Country model, looks pretty good with the late model console and my S10 seats

Another option now is to hydro-dip a wood grain pattern

Make sure you can see all sides of them very clearly--especially where a driver might rest their arm on top of the door. The top of my driver's piece was worn-out. I figure sun damage and the rubbing of a driver's arm resting on it all the time cause the pattern in that area to be worn away. My other doors' pieces were fine.
