What size gauges are you using?
For those using Auto meter gauges- what sizes are you using in our factory bezels?.

Thanks. I added them to the FAQ page that Ron started about mounting them behind the bezel.

The speedo is not accurate. At 50 mph on the speedo I am running about 60. You can change the speed gears in the transfer case to get it right. That gas guage is no longer available.

BTW........With the price of gas as it is, having the fuel in the middle like that is pretty depressing. Especially when you can see it moving down..........

Only while calibrating my electric speedo. (during calibration, it runs to 160 while you drive to the beginning of your measured two-mile distance). Only actually ran about 45, though.!?!

Putter how did you get the gauges to look like that. Are they mounted from behind?
All the guage setups look awesome. Thanks, Mike

Yes, mounted from behind using the instructions from the FAQ page (but with a few of my own little tweeks). Also used a new bezel from Tim Christian. Went with the electric speedo, and the electric oil pressure. Super easy to calibrate the speedo, too. Requires a two mile stretch of road, a press of a button, and about 3 minutes of your time.
