Found a basically new (19 miles) Rubicon instrument cluster on eBay for $100, only issue it was a KPH cluster. I realized that all of the digitals in the cluster (Speed & Odometer) could be swapped US/Metric via Settings in U-Connect menu.
Found the following video, which is for new US Speedo Tach/Speedo dials
After watching it I realized I could either A) Buy new replacement dials, or B) swap my current dials into the KPH speedo cluster.
Long Story short, rolled the dice and so far, a winner.
ISSUES:
*JL Sport 3.5 Cluster Tach dial and Rubicon 7” Tach dial are shaped differently and the JL Sport doesn’t have the Tach bezel. Decided to keep eBay Tach dial and swap the Speedo dial which was an “issue” bc of below.
*The Original Cluster markings were Orange, the eBay cluster markings are Red. Not sure if this is the case in all MPH vs KPH or Sport vs Rubicon clusters but I am OCD and do not find it that noticeable when lit, nor a dealbreaker for me.
*Odometer reading - have already made an appointment with a local shop to reprogram to match actual mileage**
**For any & all trolls whose initial thought is “that’s ILLEGAL”, I’ll mention briefly that a) I practice law & understand the law(s) in Arizona surrounding this mod. B) I am not making this mod, with any intention to lower or ”roll back” the actual miles on my Jeep, and have made arrangements for the odometer mileage to be corrected. The only reason I mention the eBay Cluster as being “basically new” was to reference the condition.
