I think the '11 changes were more than skin deep. I think I read that the HVAC system routing, fan, etc. was changed too. So there could be other changes under the dash that would not allow the new interior to be a direct bolt-in. If that is true, then it could get really pricey. $$$$$$$$$

This kind of thing can be done, but it is never cheap. To really go this route it would be best to find a totaled 2011 and take everything at once. I sell Ford parts for a living, and we have customers that do this every model year change on their trucks. We usually price out all the parts and they just about pass out. The other problem you would be looking at is that the 2011 used a different processor, I really dont know if you would be able to make your earlier systems talk to this new brain and get along.

if you can find a wrecked 2011, and dont mind shelling out some serious cash, you could probably pull off the swap, but there are subtle differences with some of the electronics, wether or not the changes would be plug and play, or "dead dash" i dont know. i hate to say it but you would be time and money ahead to trade your current jeep for a used 2011. good luck either way
