I know a guy who is making the 6 switch kind for the TJ. The '97 up XJ should be the same.
I told him he could use my XJ to test fit it.

This is photos of his design. Sorry, the only way it let me post them is individually.
He said, "The top cutouts will be for Contura/Carling switches (most rocker switches)." So I guess they will come empty. I

!!!Cherokee Switch Panel Ideas Needed!!!
I think to get 10 switches on a single panel your gonna need to do an overhead console mount like the guy on naxja. Or a couple of these options together.
I can mount 7 on my panel between visors. I used the same type of project box I used for my fitchbox, just cut at an angle.
It will eventually be reverse, front and rock lights, backup camera, and hopefully air compressor and f/r lockers at some point.
I did mount my winch arming and in/outs with on the center console with a piece from 12-volt guy.

@Big David, that's exactly what I'm wanting. I'm using the Carling switches too. Do you happen to know how much fabrication is gonna be needed to mount it to the center and will it work with a manual transmission. I only ask because of the throw of the shifter. Keep me updated. I'm ready to buy one today. Haha.

I like that panel, however tj bezel is very different from an xj bezel... I built one for my old 04 tj so I have a little experience here. I honestly don't think it would even fit, or would require a lot of hacking to make fit. Iirc the tj is slightly taller and wider...

Did you fab that up or buy it from somewhere?
