before you "search search search" mongers take over.. listen up.


most of the older threads that once had good pictures, (TPIroc, TPITERROR, exct) have since either taken down the photos or are too old and no longer show.

mostly when you search you get the long threads but no pics.. pictures are worth much more than just people's words on here..

I remember at one time there were threads with pictures of the dash removed, and where to cut the factory brackets, and wiring, and even color circled pics of where to cut for HVAC boxes.. all those are gone now..

so i can understand when there is a new thread, and people are asking about the swap.. most of you guys just say and be done with it, well, search yourself and see what i mean. I spent about 2-3hrs last night going over all i could find on the subject but never the pics i needed, just finished or completed ones, and a rare torn out dash pic.

SOOOOO, anyone have or would the original posters, care to post pics of the process?? would help out everyone, and cut the amount of "4th gen dash swap, need help" threads.

 

ahem.....let me see here.....

just starting out

started yanking wires

more wiring fun

first evenings removed wires

test fitting the dash

seeing how the non a/c heat controls will look

 

mounting the tach

all autometer gauges BEHIND the factory plastic gauge cluster, i'm the only one who has done this as far as I know


coming along

 

that's all i have for now, the metal brackets on the outside edges will need to be removed at the top and then cut and turned inward, you'll know right away when mocking the dash up. Then I used the 4th gen metal brace on the steering column, just need to cut/weld the ends to match up to the 3rd gen brackets on the chassis by hacking both pieces up.

 

awesome. thank you...


keep them coming boys
