Troubleshooting Jeep CJ Gauges and Senders

I am tired of waiting for a certain dash builder to get with me on my dash I ordered (its been a year this month, no word since march this year) so I am working on building my dash now. Sure glad I didn't send him my old dash as he pretty much demanded, or I wouldn't have it to work off of!
Anyways, this is what it is shaping up to be. What do ya think?


This panel is getting overlaid on the original dash so I can salvage a few things off it, like the VIN sticker, the steering wheel opening, and the windshield latch mounts.

What do ya think?

I like the layout, what is it made of?

 

[eldercaddy]

I just change the seats of my CJ today.

A semi rusty sheet of 18 ga. sheetmetal lol. I still have to strip it, attach it and paint it. But I have a few other thing to add in yet also.

I like it. But I think your speedometer might be a tad ambitous.

 

[mylittlecj5]

Yea I know! But do you know how hard it is to find a decent speedo that doesn't go to at least 140?!? At least I have a goal for it now!

 

[Old Dog]

Some of you old timers might remember I got a pair of these last Christmas.

 

[Old Dog]

Now one year later I'm finally getting them mounted. I should be done by the New Year.

 

[IOPort51]

Is that your shop??:drool:

I wish Maybe when I hit the lotto

 

[bdunnam]

Well i just got done putting Alloy 1 piece axles in mine, along with another yolk and replaced all my seals, so hopefully no leaks now.

I got a pretty good size order from JC Whitney yesterday.

I'm not happy with this item REAR SIDE AND CORNER PANELS FOR JEEP - JCWhitney
Very light weight steel and poorly made.

I think I'm going to send it back and order this one 12009.08 - Omix - Side Panel Passenger Side For 1976-83 Jeep CJ5 : Tellico 4x4

I was trying to think of a way to convince you I was your slightly younger brother who had been stolen as a baby by a band of migrant engineers and was returning home to spend quality time with his long lost big brother.

It's a nice little fab shop that the owner of is a jeep guy himself.
I wish I could confince him I was his long lost brother but than again you know how family can be sometimes.

 

[BusaDave9]

I lowered the body lift the PO did on my CJ5 . In the process I removed the oversized clutch linkage and installed a Rugged Ridge clutch linkage with rod ends.

​

 

[Old Dog]

Drove it home from the fab shop.

 

[Sasquach]

Got some new meats for the "Mall Crawler".

 

[CJim7]

wishing I could get over the flu so I can get busy putting my engine back together...got all my parts back from the machine shop and I still need to install the new rings on the pistons...but it's 9 degrees here today.
