Gauges
My 88 XJ dash has lights instead of gauges .. I could very easily install a simple gauge cluster from the auto part store but I want it to look right.. Will a real gauge instrument panel from a later model like an early 90's fit to replace my existing "idiot light" panel?

Try searching for guage swap, going to swap one in 89, guage panel is out 90. The new sensors were kinda pricy at napa, so if anybody knows were to get them less expensive that would help a lot. Have a Happy Thanksgiving !

Sorry I asked a question that's been answered short of 90,000,000,000 times... Ya think something covered THAT many times would have been plastered all over every page in every issue of every 4x4 magazine since 1988...

Interesting since That magical google machine is what led me here.. Doesn't look like it did much good since instead of a simple answer all I got was some punk attempting to be a smartass.. Which is sad since it was just a simple question... It's been fun but I can see y'all don't take to kindly to new people to y'alls forum...adios

The speedometer sender was switched from mechanical to electrical in 91 I believe, so as said above, only the 87-90 cluster will work. As also said above, you will have to replace a couple sensors. It's pretty straightforward.
