Dakota digital. Anyone ever use these for the CJ?

They are pricy but boy are they nice looking. Anyone here have them and do you like them? I really want to do this upgrade for my Scrambler.

$795; I think I just a little! But they do look nice...:drool:

I will be going this route eventually also. They look nice and I haven't seen any complaints about them, aside from price.

Many years ago I made kit car bodies. Dakota Digital made up a custom panel for one model. They looked great, and I never had a complaint from a customer.

I like them, but kinda spendy.

Those look great. Here's the one I had built. I got a really great deal on the gauges and will end up at about the same costs. While I like the digital gauges I had to replace my whole dash.. It's actually going int a yj. Maybe when it comes time to build the cj in the yard ill pick up a set of these.

Now I really like Jimbos76cj's dash. Sporty, simple AutoMeter gauges. If I had to redo my dash that's the route I would go. I don't care for the multi-gauges such as the OEM CJ speedometer. The VHX is much better but I sill prefer Jimbo's route.

Looks great Jimbo!

Keep up the great work, even if it's not for the CJ.

I like the autometer gauges to but the 160mph speedo and 10k rpm tach seems to be the only choices for these unit. You will only use half the sweep at best. It seems like most aftermarket set ups are the same way. Why cant they be 120mph and 8k rpms?

Here is a thread with a CJ using the Dakota Digital gauges. -->> http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f98/frame-off-restoration-1981-cj7-complete-15456/

Really excellent looking set of gauges. I dig the Maltese Cross you cut into it. That's super cool!
