jpdocdave Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 haven't posted anything about my truck in a while. installed tow hitch, aux. trans cooler, temp gauge and sensor, gear indicator in the cluster that didn't have a spot for it before. 30" mud tires, front tow hooks, removed lower valance, and shaved front fenders to match. made lower fan shroud out of a floor mat, cuz it does run warmer without it. here's a reminder of how i found it, i still want the cap gone out of my yard :ack: 30" tires i flared the cooler lines, and used fittings instead of hose clamps for the sensor gear indicator, and trans temp gauge. gauge works, and i installed a dash light i had laying around, so it dims with the rest of the cluster as well :yes: Image Not Found i love driving this truck, and for a while i'm gonna use it for a tow rig. i'm going to keep everything cool, engine and trans temps, trailer brakes, and i'm gonna give it a shot at towing one of my yj's around. yj and car hauler i have will weigh 4800 to 4900 pounds, gonna use every bit of the 5,000 lb tow capacity. let the flaming begin :clapping: it won't win any drag races, and i'm not gonna tear up my beloved truck, keep the temps down, take it easy, cruise around 50 -55 i'm guessing, and have a good ole time. :wavey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Dayem sure does. Best looking install I've seen. Now if someone could figure out a way to do this on the HO cluster and look as nice as this, I'd be a happy man. Excellent work mate. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good man! thanks for the compliment, just to clarify, it wasn't a unicorn to start. it was an idiot cluster, got a full cluster from pat, and then i cut out the tach, and installed the indicator from the old cluster. come to think of it, every part i've put on this thing has come from pat....weird :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
