    Nope......It didn't work. I needed a gear in the transfer case.

    I just use my tach......besides it doesn't go fast enough to speed....:rofl:

    Why didn't you just put a gear in it?

    I never found one for 4:88's and with over sized tires it would be wrong anyways.....I am planning on getting a simple GPS unit. I do run my garmin etrex from time to time......

    I meant the quick release gauge panel.

    It sure would make it easier to work on ...

    I guess I need to find a GPS speedo, since my new TCase doesnt even have a drive for one.

    Oh well, nice work on the wiring though.

    I was going to poish my Alumnum Gauge clusters, but as it it when the sun hits my Grant Wheel I get a nasty glare, I couldnt imagine having that much glare reflected back at you. Although its real clean and I do like it.

    Alot of great ideas here-

    here's mine. Sorry for the fuzzyness, I cropped this heavily...

    The gauges are voltage, vacuum, amps, oil pressure, and the larger one in the center is a 6,000 RPM boat tach. (the engine was running in the pic :) )

    Find out the ohm range for the stock sender and find a guage that matchs the range. I don't remember what the Jeep sender ohm range is. I actually used a GM sender in an aftermarket fuel cell with a matching guage.
