97 swap question

[scottie005]

Would it be easier to swap a 97 dash into the HO comanches in the early 90s vs the renix Comanches as far as the wiring harness would go?

If you're swapping to the '97 you are swapping everything, everything means everything, so it really doesn't matter.

No difference I'm aware of, same amount of work.  You don't plan on ONLY swapping the dash do you?  Swap it ALL or nothing.

I’m still looking for a Comanche but I plan on swapping it all

In that case yeah, it doesn't matter. Everything is coming out and coming from the 97+ XJ.  You will have to fab all new mounts for the dash but the wiring harness is encorporated into the dash, you'll just plug it in to the other wiring harnesses from the XJ. 

 

Check out some of the 97+ build threads to see what everyone has done.
