Any interest in using 97+ switches in earlier models?

[wizardPC]

For the 97+ models, I designed a 6 switch panel to replace the oem one:

Since I have the model for the switch port anyway, is there any interest in a panel for the earlier XJs? I'm pretty sure I'd be able to squeeze three XJ/TJ OEM switches in the panels to the left and right of the steering column.

I'd need someone in the Nashville/Franklin/Smyrna area with an older XJ to help me test fitment.

The major problem, of course, is that those XJ/TJ switches are like $18+ each, and the early XJ/YJ switches can be replaced with $2 contura knockoffs.

I want a switch panel that replaces one of the 12V outlets with 2 high amperage USB ports. And, of course, still has more switches.

I do have that for 97+. Don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to do that for the earlier models as well.

This looks great! If I still had my 99, I would be all over this!

I have a late model. PM me a price.

This is sweet! I need one of those futurama "shut up and take my money!" Memes after seeing this! Where do I sign up?

This is really neat! I love the knockoff switches to replace the factory 97+ XJ switches! I bought one for my light bar that actually says light bar on it with the little symbol and put it in place of my factory fog light switch since they had been removed long ago. I have always wondered how I could snug in a few more switches so I wouldn't have to drill holes in my dash for toggle switches.

I've got a 96 in Lebanon. Let me know if I can help. I'd love to have one.

I'm going to try to get some panels for <96 this weekend so I can get measurements and do a test print. Hopefully my schedule works out.

Im interested in a price for the 97-01 with USB ports too, atriot:

 

[wizardPC]

I finally made it to the junkyard today and got the panels from a 94. 10 of the 11 pre-95 xjs were missing the driver side panel so I think I might start there.

Clock panel ended up being the first thing I tried

Responded to your pm Wizard. Let me know what I can do

Ooooo, me likes it! Just don't know what I need there. A usb charging port would be nice and a working clock too! The other spots not so sure of.

 

[wizardPC]

Those holes are all for 97+ XJ/TJ rockers. However, once I get the panel size right (and I hope to verify it tomorrow) I can put whatever there

If you need any testing I'm down. I actually have a factory 4 port. I have access to a 95 and a 89MJ

Well, after the Crawl, I'm a believer that I need a better switch plate system.

What would be the price to do a late model with 3 switches, one "cigar lighter" port, and no less than 4 USB ports?

Have you explored creating anything that can be mounted into the back of the center console (perhaps in place of the ashtray) for the late models that will provide USB ports to the back seat passengers?

What is the price on a late model?
