Thank you for posting this. I’ve reached out to them. They are still in the process of getting the molds made. For those of you that like modern stuff, they are working on making it compatible with 2-din stereo head units. Not really my thing, but I know many people have gone out of their way to adapt them to old dashes. I will admit that the price is high, but when I look at getting a brand new part versus paying $700+ for an old used one that still has issues, I think it is probably worth it. Will be the difference between keeping a truck on the road or not for a lot of people. My dash looks pretty good from the outside and is in good condition compared to many of them out there, but I’ve been living without heat for years because I’m afraid it will fall apart if I try to replace the heater core. I also don’t open the glove box because one of the hinges has already broken and I don’t want to tempt fate. It does feel a little silly sometimes having a very capable off-road vehicle that you have to be afraid of accidentally destroying the dashboard in. I’m really excited to finally have a good option for replacement.

Your welcome. I don't disagree the price reasonable but out of my budget for now. Maybe down the road when things are better for me. I would prefer new to old and brittle replacement.

I'm just glad to see someone make this possible since there are a lot of these trucks on the road today. I feel like our voices are finally being heard and now we may have that part available again. Maybe this will promote some other companies into doing the same? Hopefully this helps some of you guys out here.

Oh please. I need to replace mine. I have no AC but don't want to pull the dash to replace the evaporator. I just spent a good part the the day gluing part of my lower dash. I see used ones but the are just as old as mine.

If they threw in front door shells, I'd pay that price.

They are officially taking pre orders and you get it a little cheaper if you order it now. They claim its about 200 days from shipping out the first orders. Cant wait to get mine.

I hope this takes off. My dash is pretty cracked. Every time I go into the dash a bunch of cracked plastic bits fall out. I’ve replaced a lot of the broken plastic structure with sheet metal. It looks factory from the exterior, with nice plastic, but it’s covering a metal endoskeleton. Eventually I think I’ll need a better solution.

I prefer driving my 2001 over my 2018, and either over wife’s 2022 nanny Ram. I really want to keep my 2001 on the road.

Just a few photos from the unboxing. First impression is this is very well done. The plastic is higher quality than the original part. There is no chance of the plastic breaking during install. Very happy with the purchase, and I will keep you guys updated when I get it installed.
