jbhill Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 anyone done this to an xj or mj cluster? i took my cluster apart today and got the idea to run auto meter gauges in it behind the factory plastic cover n such. I'm just curious if anyone else had this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JpDrvr51 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I saw it done on a Jeep in one of the mags. I think it was in a TJ though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Rod Jeep Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That's an idea I've had too, but I've already got my gauges and they're 2 5/8" so they're prolly too big. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 could always make a pice of sheet aluminum to fit in the stock cluster opening, then you could arrange the guages however you wanted. I'd really rather have my tach on the right for instance, and have my water temp and oil pressure on the same side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 why not just do white faced gauges? or are you looking for more accurate ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Those gauges just let you know bad things are about to happen :eek: Only gauage I need is a gas gauge :brows: Only gauge my Yota has is a speedo. I just fill it up every few days with gas. As for the MJ: Image Not Found Oooooh, yeah, full cluster. Are the Autometer ones small enough to fit?

jbhill Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 why not just do white faced gauges? or are you looking for more accurate ones? not running any factory wiring so i don't wana try to get em to work right w/ a GM motor and painless harness. plus theyll be more accurate. and cooler lookin :D some small 3 in gagues should fit for hte speedo and tach. some 1 7/8 for the other 4 tho.
