Electrical problem
1998 Jeep Wrangler 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 119K miles

On a regular basis, my jeep's instrument panel goes south ... sometimes it's the tach. and speedometer, sometimes it's to whole dash. Then all of a sudden they come back on line. this happens about 2/3 a week.

Honestly, it sounds like a ground problem. Check body ground straps to make sure they haven broken, come loose, or rusted.

Let me know what you find.
