Overhead console

Apr 01, 2006 40 Replies

Has anyone ever installed an overhead console from a Grand Cherokee in a regular (real) Cherokee?



I decided to bite the bullet and get a new engine put in my 96 Cherokee (the original 4.0 six developed a rod knock after only 300,000 miles), and I want to do a few upgrades to the Jeep as I'm going to be driving it for a long time yet.

Jeff DeWitt did pass the time by typing:

That might be an interesting task. What are you trying to get? The computer (trip deely) interfaces to the vehicle electronics so it probably won't work in your XJ. The outside air temp sensor would have to be installed also. The rest of that console is just lights.

With sheet metal screws and zip ties you can do most anything.

You just wanted something handy to make stripes with...

When I went to the store to get wiper blades and groceries I saw that I told a fib about being stickerless. I have two and another on the dash awaiting being stuck...

Ain't that the truth!

Guy at the shop that's doing the work commented that I must have really babied that Jeep... actually I drove the you know what out of it... bet I'm one of the few people that knows a Jeep has a rev limiter on it!

The one awaiting application is an annual county park use permit, the other two are to advertise that all the glass has been etched with a traceable serial number.

Well, if I get the colored duct tape, I could make it look like a real circus wagon.

No Kidding! Well now I have to------------- awww crap, I have an auto.

I've dumped my share of vehicles on their knees via the rev limiter the first time it happens is a real aww s*it moment isn't it?

Sure is, especially if your passing someone at the time!

At work they have a name for that kind of tape... managers tape.
