I thought it was a good deal even with asking price for a dealer i was shocked it wasnt going for 8000 but the only thing that i wasnt pleased with is the dash but with manual locks and doors makes taking doors on and off much easier u know if the dash would be quick to swap?

Yep. No head problem to worry about, HP 30 is gnarly. Literally the only bad thing bout this Jeep is the TURDY and thats like not having a problem at all.

I haven't had to do that swap but I think it would be fairly simple, xj's seem to have one wiring harness regardless of options, so you might just have to swap the cluster and maybe a sensor or two

I have no idea. But you wont find a cluster that says 55k, unless you know how to reprogram it. (might be easier than I think, I just dont know). You could always just add an RPM and temp gauge from pepboys. (small one please). Cool sticker by the way, is that a real thing ?
