Digital instrument panel?
Hey all, I just bought my second Jeep which is a 97 Grand Cherokee Limited V8 5.2L and I'm trying to see where I can find a new instrument panel. I'd like to upgrade to digital if they make them for that model.
You guys know of any online Jeep accessories websites that offer them?
Thanks!
Id also like to thank you guys for helping me get thru some electrical issues I was having with this Jeep. This forum is the shintz!

He stated it had a 5.2L not the 5.9.

Wow sorry, I can't read lol. Anyways, electric instrument panels are doable, but it would be expensive and most people would see the money spent elsewhere in their money pit.

Dakota Digital makes some really nice vehicle-specific and universal digital gauge panels. They unfortunately don't have one specifically for the Grand Cherokee, but they do offer a wide range of universals to fit pretty much any project. Be forewarned: these and other digital gauge panels are not cheap. Carefully consider the cost of it weighed against how long you may have the vehicle. In my opinion, they work wonderful in project vehicles that the owner is planning on keeping around for a while, but not so much in vehicles that simply need a replacement gauge cluster.

Thanks for the info guys, but it looks like I wont be going that route. I didn't know they would be so expensive. I had originally taken mine apart to clean it up a bit and figured that it looked relatively cheap to make. That's why I figured there would be one available for a decent price.
I guess I'll just replace the background bulbs with some green ones...to match the paint.
