New dash for a YJ

Hey everyone - As long as the CHerokee passes the smog+safety on Friday, I plan to toy-ize my YJ...

I want to make a nifty, simple dash for it similar to a YJ's dash. I want it to be fairly strong (thinking 1/8" metal) but would thinner to the trick to amke cutting easier?

Are there any pre-made dashes that use all the standard YJ guages?

What is the best tool to cut shapes out of the steel?

Also - best place to buy cheap, nice looking rims that is located in/will ship to Ontario, Canada.

Thanks for any input!

Regards, Chris

I am missing something in your question....

A metal dash implies a CJ one, not a YJ one and what do either have to do with a Cherokee?

Hey Mike... I think he is saying he wants to emulate the CJ dash in his YJ provided his XJ passes emissions and he doesn't have to throw money/time into it.

He has two Jeeps, a Cherokee and a YJ. He wants to turn the YJ into a project, but only if the Cherokee gets through smog.

Hey guys,

I see the source of all the confusion... "simple dash for it similar to a YJ's dash" Should read "simple dash for it similar to a CJ's dash"

Why woudl I want to make a YJ dash similar to a YJ dash? Rube Goldberg was my pa.

LOL!

I was kinda thinking so, but....

They make replacement dashes for the CJ's and they will fit right in.

I think you have to change over the gauges due to size or shape issues.

Here is one link on them, there are others.
