great forum. great build. im going through all this but converted my 92 troop carrier from 3f to a 1hdft. great to see the love of land cruisers send us down a rabbit hole. Keep up the great work.

Also, found an open/close vent for the dash panel, now I can open and close both side vents of the dash panel

Another photo of the gauges, Wayne's plate is very nicely made

And as you can imagine, the fit is tight with the stereo and all the wires behind them

When using Wayne's @crushers gauge plate, you will need to slightly modify the plastic bezel to make it sit flush against the dash and gauges

great fitment. I am looking at the same gauges in order to keep the look factory. What is really confusing me is the fact the gauges are 1.7v or 3.7 or 8v. Are they not ment to be 12v ? or is that the reason they come with a control box ? personally i want the gauges with less electronics and just the probe for the pyro as well as a tube for the turbo boost. any help would be appreciated thanks
