I'm about to redo my dash with some diamond plate that I am going to try to paint black. I've been thinking of getting the Mana-Aint-Free gauge thing but need pictures of other people's dashes for ideas. Also planning on redoing buttons. Should I keep them, of incorperate new switches and stuff, and how?
Thanks

Here is what mine is going to look like. I just need to install the gauges

here is another... different style:

That last cruiser is awesome--Gary Smart does some nice work. (it wouldnt be the best hard core off roader tho--good for DD and light off-road)

assuming you looked in the readers rides section of JTO, did you see that TALL one? makes bj42's look like a 2 year old! :eek:

nah, can't show it with the bezel on upside down.

here's one :D

That last pic is badass. I want I want:smokin:

FJ60, you got any more pictures of that diamond plate one you posted?

Pleeeeease? That thing is *sweet*!

Hey the latest pic with the diamond plate is the sweetest i have ever seen, hopefully someone can give some more info on this
:beer:

Isn't that off of that grey/black Land Cruiser from New York? I've wheeled with the owner (or I guess it could be PO), he's pretty fearless! Nice dash, too. I'll dig in my pictures see if I can come up with some more shots of it.

I knew I had see that one. The dash i Lined with Herculiner or Lava Liner and the diamond was put over it.

Here's another one I saved, looked kinda interesting. I apologize for the quality of the shot, it's not the best and I couldn't do better than this with Photoshop. More to follow...

Another one, this time just the bezel.

That last one looks more like the cockpit on a Cessna than a cruiser gauge panel!!

Matt:p

Here is a shot of my guage pannel i just got finished.

71-cruiser, I am impressed you got all those guages in there! How do you match up the speedo with the LC? You have model and make #'s for the gauges. They look great!

Here is a pic of a friends dash. It is one piece of aluminum,painted body color. Also has the BTB :flipoff: dash box.

71 CRUISER love your gauge set-up can you e-mail me some more pics of the it i'm going to use the same gauges but in artic white!!! :smokin:

71-Cruiser...Where did you get that bezel? Is it a door from the dashbox? Have part #'s for your gauges? Thats looks great, e-mail me all the info you have on how you did it and send pics if possable, or post...
Thanks

The guages are Auto Meter part #1400. It is a street rod guage set. The set came with everything except the Tac. The plate is a glove box door that i drilled to fit the guages in. I coppied Medusa's set up so i cant take all the credit. As far as the spedo cable goes i dont have one yet but i will keep everyone posted when i get that figured out. I will include more pictures when i post my pictures from my recent 351W, NP435 swap.

How much did those gauges cost ya?

BTB Products sells the cable to hook up the Autometer speedo with the stock Toyota tranny.

I wanna see more dash ideas.

I might be upgrading my gauges and I'm liking some of these options.

Did I miss something, or is this forum necromancy week? :flipoff2:
