    Those gauges look great! Can't wait to see the rest of the truck finished. Are you planing on putting something where the radio went? Like a cb radio or even just switches?

    Yes... A radio ha ha. I have a cd deck for it. I have a cb to go in the little extra slot in the aftermarket bezel. I have the fun task of wiring all those gauges now ha ha. It took me 4 hours to wire my gauge pod in my psd, I'll probably have a day into it. Good wiring takes time ha ha.

    Gauges look great. Are you going to ditch the ac or just move the controls? Unless it never had it up in that part of the country

    Ac is pretty standard now a days, but this is an "XL" 4x4 model so no ac. I mounted the vent controls down on the bottom of the dash in front of the stick shift. They're all mechanical so it's just too much to mess with ha ha. I'll probably have to mess with the defrost a little for it to target the windshield but for a wheeler that's all it'll need.

    10/4 didnt know if you had just placed it there or had it mounted. Down here even wheelers get a/c unless you can take the top off.

    Yeah, I fabbed a bracket, I'd like to do some aluminum trim but I want to get the gauges all functioning first. I'll worry about the 'trimmings' later ha ha. If I had ac I would have kept it, summer is the only time youd need it up here. but I like wheeling in the fall/winter/spring.. For the muds ha ha. I have better things to do in the summer.
