My face when it happened.
Soz for slight offtopicness.

That's a little different. At first you made it sound like, your dash started rattling then out of no where BAM dash splits in pieces.

Yep. Thank god the junk yard had an XJ with the same color interior. It all worked out well, now i have tweeters and foot lights! But the hose for the vent under the steering wheel has no where to hook into anymore.
Since i installed the new one, not a single sound from the dash. Managed to the very end of the dash screwed in with a longer screw.

I need a quick response, I've been reading about control arms and get mixed answer. I'm going to a 4 inch lift, I feel as if I would need all new control arms but I've heard some guys continue to run the stock ones. If I need new ones, what length will work and where could I find some cheap?

1994 jeep cherokee country, the fuse box has melted literally.
It started with the heat not working then the radio then it would not start and stay on...now there was smoke today and low and behold nothing...it still runs bless my jeep but the fuse panel has two melted fuses and wires hanging freely. I have a diagram to rewire it but I am having issues finding the fuse panel replacement. any advice on locating the correct fuse panel?
Thanks

I also am getting both a track bar and t case drop from the guy with the lift. So, immediately, all I need to invest in is LCAs? Then maybe uppers and an SYE down the road?
