I'm looking at getting an aftermarket tach, what kind are you guys running? and if you have pictures where you have them mounted can you include them please.

Thanks guys!

I have a digital one installed where the stock clock is located. It even has a high RPM memory recall button.

did you have to do anything because I have the Brake light for mine, did you have to mod it any? also what size is it?

What brand and part number is it too if you can recall? I have been thinking if doing something like that as well.

Well I was going to use a stock location where my brake lamp is, but then I remember its part of the plastic and I'd have to drill through it and what not. So I decided to go with a 3 3/8" tach and just put it on my steering column, which is looks good, because when its in drive, it sits right in the middle of my speedometer and fuel guage and I can still see over it. I will eventually put a 5" guage but I have to save up a nice chunk of change for that.

prev. owner had a bobblehead screwed & glued to the dashpad, so i mounted mine there. when the new dashpad gets here, it will be migrating to the windshield pillar.

Yeah I was planning to put mine on the pillar myself but one of my wires wasn't long enough for me to put it there so I have to have it on my column for now, I probably could of found some extra wire and soldered it together but I didn't oh well, maybe something I can do in the future.
