Whoa! That completely caught me off guard. Is that a custom setup or did you purchase a kit?

EDIT: I see someone just asked that. Silly me. xD

It looks a lot like it's hand-fabbed.  Very nice work, Dave, just keep it on the road!

It's all custom work, no kit involved.  I would like to thank my friends who welded for me ;)  Without em it would never have happened.

I'll see if I can find a better picture of the cluster, that's the only one I have with the A-pillar pod.  I've had the cluster done for ~2 years now,  I had it done for the last CJ I was at. (2004?)

And I'm in Arizona for the summer living out here with my parents.  Certainly enjoying the weather out here ;)  I'm in Tucson now.

If you want that picture of the cluster bigger, just find the direct link to it by going to properties and pasting it into a new window.  They're just thumbnailed.

Thanks for all the complimemts by the way :)

Here's a picture I took back in 2004 of the dash, but it's pretty much the same.

There are green LED's attached to the turn signal lights, a red for brights and an orange for check engine.

Whoa. Consider me impressed! I always wanted to do that. :)

So have you driven it? You haven't said a  thing about how it drives. I've always liked the turbo whistle and to have that in stereo - wow - music to my ears!
