What about an Anti-Rock Sway bar? From what i understand they make the suspension work better for on road as well as off.

Chuck and I intend to fab do a sway bar setup. We have the parts but hae been so busy lately, it is at the bottom of our list. I just have to take it easy on the road.

Here is my new gauge cluster. I removed the radio area and relocated the cigar lighter. Chuck fabricated this awesome stainless cover plate to house everything. I have a switch to override my fans, a spare switch that will likely be for onboard air in the future, and two feedback lights. The green one tells me the trans cooler fan in operating and the red one tells me when it is not operating. I know it seems a bit overkill, but I have had a couple of instances where the fan has failed and since I am not running trans cooling through the radiator anymore, I have no redundancy in the system and cannot afford to cook my trans.

I like it! But, I gotta ask. Why is it reading 9V with the key on???

It looks good! Rather be safe than sorry with overkill gauges, switches, and lights.

Angle of Pic I would guess. Looks like the gauges are angled toward the driver but the camera is straight on.
Chuzie, no diff temp? No power steering temp? You need more gauges! :hysterical:
How long is your "pre-crawl" list?
