I had it apart today, because it was actually nice out for a few hours. That was not the issue. The wire for the fuel gauge had broken where I soldered it previously. That works now. I am still working on the tach.
Now, as promised a while ago, pictures.
It got into the mid 50s today and the wife got home from work early, so I was able to take care of some details, and giver her a nice bath quick before taking pictures.
I have some black seat covers that I need to put on yet, I'm not sure how great they will be since they are universal, but they were free, so if I hate them I'm not out anything but time.
Things that can't be seen, or at least not well, I painted the speaker grills to match the interior. I had them done like that years ago (there may be a picture near the beginning of this thread) but they peeled and turned black again so I did them better this time.
I also have the dash lights done in all red LEDs. They don't get bright enough to be seen during the day, but I will get a picture tonight when I leave work.
I am loving that gauge pod too. It's a Bosch 2 inch unit. It is mechanical oil and temp (temp probe screws in where the one for the dash went, and it stays reading hot even with the key off), and a real live voltmeter. I have a 195 thermostat in there, and that gauge stops just past 190, oil pressure runs between 40 PSI (cold) and about 10-20 (at temp). Voltmeter runs about 14V normally, but it is sensitive too. Sitting at a stop with the turn signals on you can watch the needle bounce a little. Plus where I have it mounted it is just about perfect. It isn't in the way of the 4x4 shifter, and I can look right through the steering wheel and see all 3 clearly.
