I have a KE Verada Xi that i have decided to strip out
There are a few things i would love to change over and considering the Black dash with Passenger Air Bag is one of those things im starting to believe that changing looms etc wouldnt be that hard since everything is basically out.
So the parts i want to change out are:
Black Dash with P/S airbag
Cruise control
Power Windows
Possibly the Climate Control (will need a new back cover as the screw mounts are broken.
I know i can use some things like the power window regulators but wondering what i need to tranfer so it will all work or what other parts i should buy (eg clock spring may not be compatible)
Since it will be a big project i was wondering if anyone here has tried any of it and what parts i would need to either take from the KE or have to buy from a KJ?
Have tried searching threads but cam up alittle short on information.
So far thanks to MadMagna i know that i need to take all the wiring from the doors in order for the power windows to work

You have already asked, I ahve already told so dont know why you are posting up again
You can not use anything from the KE to the TJ, as you stated to me before looks like you will part it out
The 2 cars use totally different cruise, climate, locking, engine management etc etc, only way is to completely swap all over which is a big backwards step

So there is nothing i can use at all?

So bits like this are model specifc? not KE - W TE - W? I understand as a wrecker you would have stock of all models
Window switches etc?
The foglight stalk?
I understand the wiring may have to be bought from a TJ series 2 and probably alot of other parts.
Also alot gets lost in text as there is no tone/body language, im not trying to be arguementitive just naturally inquisitive.
If theres any little pieces i can use it would be great, otherwise ill be putting in alot of orders when im cashed up again :-)

Out of the KE you can use the power window switches and fog light stalk but all the wiring in the KE is different to the TJ.If you want to do a climate control conversion to your TJ you will need the wiring and the climate control unit out of a TJ, you can use the motors and sensors for the climate control out of your KE. For the dash you can put the KE dash in your TJ ,does your Tj have P/S airbag if it does you can just swap it over, if not you can just get a second glove box like I did.

Seems there are some items i can use and some i cant. As per my OP things i want to and what i can use from the KE and wht i need to get from a T/KJ
What I basically am asking is for a list of parts i need to install the options in my TJ

Thanks for the info, I knew there would be stuff i could use, dont see the point in selling off parts that i would just have to buy again later. I like the second glovebox idea will have to keep an eye out. Could get it ex Japan but post is a killer.
Will have to compile a list so i can aquire the nessasary bits before i do the install as i only want to pull the dash out once if i can get away with it.
