If you're talking about the white backlit gauges, they are photoluminesent and require a power supply as well. Not something done easily.

You're talking about the ENTIRE dash! WAY too much work. The WJ is wider than the ZJ and the dual climate heater is controlled by the body module. Everything is different and chances are you'll never get it right. Even the distance from the windshield to the front of the dash is different. I thought you just meant the cluster.

Damn that sucks. How about lifting the jeep to fit 38s right now it's rigged with ford Springs and tube in between the spring and body to clear 35. Is there a way to leaf spring it. Or cheap way without spending thousands of dollars

I have 3/4 ton axles to put under just don't think I would be able to leaf spring it. The 38s I have are on 8 lugs. My plan is to weld brackets for leaf Springs but being a uni body don't think I have room
3/4 ton are only good tell 37s and the front axle is really a 1/2 ton axle they made a 8 lug.You need 1 ton axles or get use to changing axles hubs and maybe a diff or two.Leaf springs are more work then they are worth and if you want a crawler coils and links will out flex them.You can buy weld on brackets front and rear for any swap axle from a few places online.
