Can I get rid of the gauges except for the speedo and make my own gauge pods? Im thinking I can maybe just cut the sides off? What to do with the circuit panel on the back? My battery gauge and water temp on the right side doesnt work and on the left my gas gauge and oil pressure works but I want to get rid of them and use my own gauges. So how can I do this? I searched but didnt find anything

I looked around over there but couldnt find something that said yay or nay to being able to cut off the side gauges

the speedo can be pulled out of the plastic holder, as can all the guages
the speedo doesnt use the printed foil circuit thing so you would be tossing that

I've seen people get rid of all the gauges. Make a custom backing plate that fits the current gauge cluster area and install a new set of AutoMeter (or whatever brand you'd like) gauges in it's place. The look was extremely clean and only limitation was your imagination.

I have seen the idea for the new gauge panel and I did it in my ranger but no speedo in there so it doesnt matter. Is there a way to pull the speedo and mount it on say a piece of plate? Buying an autometer speedo or another brand for instance isnt really an option. I have all new gauges that I want to put in but I need the speedo

Speedo is just mounted with 2 bolts. It comes right out.
