Pete M Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 why do the rollbar mounting plates not line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 There's another one of those full guage clusters with the styling of the idiot light clusters. Was that an option or are people just swapping the faces from later clusters or something? I mostly see the red clusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I think it's super early 87s that have that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 That would make sense. I've never seen one actually on a truck other than this one, only ones from part-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gjeep Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Well, the decals are all wrong for a chief, but the black interior looks about right. From what I've gathered in person, the chief door panels (both MJ and XJ) had another stitch around the interior door panel release that made the panels truly Chief unique. I've pulled 3-4 black Chief door panels off XJ's; and 2 off MJ's -- and they all had this extra stitch. When I have a moment I'll snap a pic of what I'm talking about. Point is, this trucks door panels don't have this -- so either an interior paint of/ for power window/ door lock panels or not a true Chief. EDIT -- here's the pic. '87 Chief door panels power window/ door lock black in color. My vote is his panels are newer XJ for the power window/ locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand they are existent, i was about to swap one into mine but the gas gauge didn't work on it so i had to go with the re cluster. i think mine came out of my dads old 87 xj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes we do, but as of now I’m still very interested in trying to fix the 87 pack as I like the look better, but if I ever decide against it, I’ll dm you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if you take the needle off and the two screws holding it on, it would pop right off, then just swap the guage into the blue cluster.

ghetdjc320 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Interestingly enough, my 92 police package cluster has the exact same style gauges. I swapped in all but my rpm gauge from that police xj to my 91mj but my tach doesn’t match since it’s the newer (91) style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
