Can I put a YJ dash in my TJ?

[Login]

I’m not a fan of the tj dash and center console and was wondering if anyone knew a way to put a yj dash into a tj? Plus I really like the look of the yj dash compared to the tj.

Not saying you cant.... but there will be quite a bit of fabrication required along with adapting over the BUS for the instrument cluster.

Not even a project worth doing IMHO..it would be a shit load of fab and you still end up with a mostly plastic dash. Once you have the dash bolted up the wiring is going to overtake you and kill your momentum. What would you do about the airbags? steering column?

There would be so much work and fabrication involved I don’t think it would be worth it at all.

I think it would be easier to buy a YJ and upgrade it to coil springs and round headlights..

Here is your best answer unless you want to rip it all apart and make a custom flat dash.

That is true probably more work than i would have expected.
