All you Moabites will remember that my "Wheelin' Bud Jim" took a hit this spring & lost a tail light...:sighwgray
We finally managed to get our schedules together & headed to the wrecking yard yesterday.
There was a nice selection of Troopers in various stages of wreck, & he was able to score a tail light for $40+ a little something for uncle...:thumbup:
There was also a 94' with a sweet factory moon roof, complete with all controls & the headliner was in good shape, it also had the headlight wipers...Jim was nearly drooling...:_drool:
I found a Rodeo with a complete dash bezel, a three switch replacement for the "fuzzy hole", a single DIN cubby & a rear door release switch for the same low price, all with future projects in mind...:smilewink

Almost forgot...the "24 valve V-6" badge from the Rodeo front fender looks mighty sporty on my C/F intake...;)

All of the Troopers that might have been good candidates for half shaft hoarding had well over 100k on the clock, so I didn't bother.

All in all, a pretty good day for Jim & the Dub...:dance:

Oh yeah, Jo, you might not believe this, but the Band Aid you stuck on his "owiee" is still there...:razzgray:

Ldubski .. Off the top of your head what range of years do Rodeo's Dash Bezels work in our VX's?? :_confused:_confused

Great finds...:clap::clap:

DANG...I wish I knew...:sighwgray

I just sat in the drivers seat & realized that the dash looked "awfully familiar".

Also, I know that the Honda Passport shared the same dash as the VX & Rodeo, but again, have no idea as to which year(s).

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Good to hear!

The dash from 96 to 97 Rodeo is the same as the VX except for all the color and the fuzzy hole.

late model 95 rodeo dashes too...

they changed the design mid model year :p

even the center console area, HVAC, and firewall are the same if you ever need to swap that stuff out too.
