Digital keyboard or digital dash?

Just touchscreens in general, really.

I think I'm getting a design I like. I can create several different screen layouts and switch between them at will. I believe I have all the IO channels configured except for a few minor details. Still need to find oit how many pulses per rev my vss is. Will probably use the one on the back of the 4406 t-case. Then it can calculate my speed with the diff ratio and tire diam.

That background would be REALLY distracting to me. I'm glad it works for you.

Is go-go juice the fuel gauge or is that reading pounds of pressure on some NOS?

Yeah, the red on green reminds me of the vision tests for my driving license...

I'll admit I'm not entirely sold on the red. I can change the background easily. I made 4 backgrounds so far. 2 have small tiled hounds and 2 just have 1 large Hound in the center. Go-Go Juice is the fuel gauge. Zoomies are the tach.

I was supposed to mow tje lawn this afternoon. But the mower battery was dead. So, while that was charging, I played with seats. The bolsters are a little bit narrow. But they'll at least work for a while. I'm curious to see how they feel during a long ride.

Not bolted in yet, but the measuring and planning and some of the drilling is done for this one.

They look like you probably won't go anywhere. Super supportive!

If you are like me, they feel great once you are in them, but are a pain to enter and exit.

You're going to give a whole new meaning to 'Running Like a Dog.'

Where did the seats come from? The reclining mechanism on the Ford Escort GT driver's bucket seat in my Ranger is broken (I think the teeth stripped) and finding used buckets to fit in these Rangers is challenging. Most buckets in newer vehicles are too wide. I was eyeing some BMW 3-Series leather buckets that would fit, but they're for a sedan, so I wouldn't be able to tilt them forward to get to the stuff in the back of the cab.

All I know is the logo looks like "SM". They fit the cab nicely and tilt fwd and back and I like the look. The padding is not soft, though. And, like I said, tje bolsters are a bit narrow. These seats are meant to hold you in place. Great of offroading, probably. I don't knpw hpw I will like them for trips.

But the padding has been crumbling and falling out of my seats unevenly for a while, giving me a lean. So, for the price, I felt these were worth a try. $140 on marketplace for the pair.
