Sidekick Dash swap
« on: October 16, 2011, 09:02:46 PM »
Swapped the dash from a 90 Sidekick JX to a 94 Tracker. In a nutshell, It fits perfect, and nothing lines up :)   I like the option to have the cubby hole / shelf on the passanger side.

In order to complete the dash swap I had to swap the following items:

- Metal substructure under dash - 4 of the 6 bolts across the bottom didn't line up. And the 4 bolts for the passanger"OH ShAT" handle didn't line up
- HVAC controls -  94 HVAC controls bracket is wider and forces dash outward.
- Fan control switch is wired differently - Will have to move the position of the Power lead in connector another day.

In all it wasn't too bad. It can be done. I thought it would take 2 hours. Ended up taking all day. I'd never try it with out the two cars side by side.  But I'd do it again.
