1+ like the old men comments!

I'm lucky too when it comes to a JY.. there is one 4 miles down the road from me and they have 3 dodge rams that are in pretty good condition that they are parting out... when I hit the deer this summer I got a front bumper, fan shroud, oil dip stick for like $125 with delivery haha and I just picked up an 8' scraper blade for $106.. and those are like $600-$800 new! I love JY's!

Just go to LMC truck and order a replacement dash. That's your best bet..

No it isnt! As said before in this thread, LMC only sells a cover for the cracked dashboard, not a replacement dashboard.

Geno's Garage now has a replacement dashboard:
98-02: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DRD8-1
94-97: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DRD4-7
But it only comes in black, and for that price, I'd be getting a new one from Mopar that is color-matched.

EDIT:
New Mopar dashboards are only $306 from Mopar.biz

Well, lots of factors go into why your dash is not cracked or cracked. Interior color, tinted windows, garage kept, amount dash was cleaned, etc...

but it seems the ones that all fall apart are usually the later 2nd gen style ones....po's beat the hell out of my interior but the dash is perfect...except the ****ty cup holders that dont hold cups upright ...I poured a whole cup of coffee on my jeans today while using the truck for service calls today...(vans making bad bearing noises like waterpump failed)

I've heard that the cup holders in the 94-97s sucked. The 98-01s have the best cupholders ever built!!!

Well it used to be a work truck.
Windows are mildly tinted.
Dash was hardly ever cleaned.
And i wonder if the cup holders from the older models will fit in our model?
