The only thing I would even consider changing on my fzj dash would be a bigger opening to accommodate a large tablet or stereo with a big monitor.
But I would have to think hard and do a lot of homework before committing.
And also maybe some kind of a secret James bind stash hole for handguns and other fun items

In either dash I would like 2 or 3 gauge cutouts angled toward the driver, they could be positioned just to the right (left hand drive) of the center stack where it transitions into the passenger side. I am not a fan of the A pillar mounts.
Yep, put the vents lower and the stereo up high with room for a 10" screen where you can see it without fully looking away from the road.The only thing I would even consider changing on my fzj dash would be a bigger opening to accommodate a large tablet or stereo with a big monitor.

I know that this is available as an option up in the overhead console if you also go with an aux tank, but I wish that the original 80's came with the inclinometer/altimeter/compass that the upper trim 4runners of the 80's and then the later FJ Cruisers came with (and the Tercel 4wd...haha). I have toyed with retrofitting one on mine, because I think they are cool looking.
And since we are dreaming, I would add the little tray area and grab handle that the 1990 Geo Tracker had, as well as the late 80's early 90's Honda Accord or Civic tray area. So handy for putting random stuff there.

Yeah I always thought those were cool-looking. Lotta real estate though. Maybe a digital version where you can switch displays and that's one of them...
Haltech Digital Dash can have all of your gauges in one screen.
"Haltech Digital Dash can have all of your gauges in one screen."
Then why do you have the A pillar pods?

I'd add an accommodation for a hidden/secret kill switch.

I'm doing a TSdash install on my truck now with a 12.3" display, rpi4, and megasquirt 3 for the sensors. The dash layout isn't what I will use but the display fit pretty well in the stock opening. You can do it cheaper than the haltech setup but it is a lot of work.

Nice work. I can definitely see the utility, but I really prefer analog gauges for my primary concerns.

i actually prefer looking at my phone instead of the double DIN screen when running Waze/Google Maps. phone i have mounted just in front of the airvent to the right of the steering wheel.
Normally I would agree but for this case, I didn't want extra physical gauges mounted in/on the dash/console for my widebands and extra temp gauges stuck on the dash so I went digital to replace the stock setup and have it all integrated.

Totally get it... It's really more of an aesthetic thing than any practical objection. I definitely appreciate having access to secondary gauges even if it's only via my phone.
Are you using Megasquirt as your primary ECU, as a piggyback, or just as an interface for gauges?
Fuel controller and i/o expander. I am using it to trigger and control some aux functions. TS dash lets you use the rpi gpio to add other inputs to the ecu for things like indicators and switches/buttons. I have an aem anynet can module for some more inputs for things like transmission temps/pressures, oil temps/pressures, and gear position. I am also doing flex fuel and coolant pressure as additional fields.
