CJ dashboard replacement?

I was thinking about ripping out these rather "retro looking" dashboard/gauges in my cj-7 and replacing it with something a little more modern and a little more functional.

I was thinking about retrofiting a TJ dash/gauges. Anybody tried this yet?



If this is not really practical, then i'd also be open to suggestions on at least replacing the gauges with something more current.[addsig]

Can't answer the TJ part of the question. Sorry.

There are some aftermarket gauges available from Quadratech or 4 wheel drive hardware. They are LED electronic items. Look kinda cool in a different sort of way

. Have thought about switching to these myself as the speedometer can be set up to account for differences in tire size. However, it would look kinda dumb if the LED's were glowing through the holes in the floorboard giving the Jeep the ground effect look of some of the import racers

Oh well, empty your pockets when you own a jeep. Just my .02.

I'm still working on putting a YJ tub on my CJ, and have started thinking about the dash board. I don't mind the CJ dash, but the one thing I can't stand is the heating system in that CJ. Those pull rods never seem to work right, so I'm thinking of putting a YJ heater controls in.[addsig]
