speaking of dashes, does anyone remember the company that makes the bracket for YJ dashes that lets you put in regular 2 1/16" gauges?

i thought about doing my dash in diamond plate but if the sun is behind you it would blind the hell out of you instead i bought a blank dash for 30 buck and installed auto meter gauges in a x pattern. would post picks but i don't have a star.

Isn't that red CJ-8 a $100,000 Jeep? I remember seeing it somewhere.

That scrambler dash is cool as hell. It doesnt look like it would be to bad to fab up at all. I really like the center console part.

Center consoles are for Honda's, I like the Aggro approach, the only things missing are an old cast Coca-Cola bottle opener screwed to the dash along with a crusty metal gimballed marine style cup holder. Did you get those zip-ties and wire nuts from Currie? I heard that Avalanche makes the best electrical tape. Who did the custom airbrushing along the top of your dash? Looks just like real rust!

water temp and oil pressure. Nothing else needed.
voltmeter- you'll KNOW when the battery is dead
tachometer- if the valves are floating let off a little
bells and whistles- just more clutter.

When steam and water start puking out from under the hood, it's too hot, ditch the temp guage, when it starts knocking you're low on oil, ditch the oil pressure guage, when it sputters to a stop it could be a lot of things, better have a gas guage to eliminate that, oh yeah, and an inclinometer, can't even drive without one of those.

I came across a broke down Jeep on a trail about three years ago, he said the engine just stopped, and wouldn't turn over any more, later he added that it had stalled two or three times, was clunking a lot, and he had been sitting there for two hours wondering what to do. I looked inside and he had every guage in the autometer catalog, an nice liquid filled ones at that, no he wasn't out of gas, it ended up that he knocked a hole in his oil filter, ran it out of oil, over heated it, spun some bearings, and siezed the motor. He couldn't tell me what his oil pressure, water temp, oil temp, trans temp, fuel press, volts, or RPM's were, even though he had all of those guages mounted in a custom panel, all backlit a matching color, hell, I think he had exhaust temp and vacuum guages too.

All the bling bling guages in the world don't mean a thing if you don't look at them, but he did have a pretty Jeep.

you forgot:
fuel level: I'll know when it's gone, but I'd like to know a little before hand

volts: the gauge is cheaper than a new battery

Fuel Pressure: it's an EFI thing, I like to know if my pump is gonna give.

Vacuum: well.... 5 gauges just didn't look right on the dash:flipoff2:

All those extra gauges just add too much weight:flipoff2:

Just a YJ, but if you'll look closely, you'll see that they're all VDO Cockpit Series now...

Lame topic, BTW :flipoff2:
