    I have seen some plain jane set ups, and some set ups that make you want to palm your face. I'm going for more of a stock/OEM look, but I'd like to your dash and instrument set ups all the same. Maybe I'll be inspired by your genius, or we can all point and laugh at you; either way, show us what you've got.

    Don't be shy . . . :uwop:

    This is mine in a picture from when I was in high school in the late 70s. If l had it to do over again the oil pressure and water temp Gage's would be on the same side as the speedo, makes it easier to see them all at glance.

    Same Jeep 36 years later. Pretty much everything has been changed, even the speedo.

    Went all custom but tried to keep it clean/simple. Ditched the key other OE switches and went all toggle switches for starting, wipers, lights, etc.

    It took awhile to convince myself to cut holes in my unmolested stock dash...but I wanted gauges and don't like them hanging below the dash. I went with Autometer 2" oil, volt and temp gauges, in approximately the location of Renegade II gauges.

    Is that a Tilt-O-Meter in the speedo hole?

    I need to come up with a cover for the fuse box.
    I like the GPS speedometer, antenna works sitting under the dash but thats under fiberglass.

    I'm guessing they were manual at one time, good ingenuity.

    What about using some small powerful magnets glued to the back of a plastic cover? Put a small handle/knob in the middle of the panel.

    My son built a CnC machine so I got him to make me a Billet Aluminum bezel, complete with Willys logo for all my new gauges.
