A couple small updates:
Installed an ISSPRO transmission temperature gauge using another custom (read: ghetto) ABS tube "bezel".
@Jebiker666 , I bought one of those Acura A pillar gauge pods discussed elsewhere on IH8MUD before thinking about the differences between LHD and RHD. It won't work for me, so for now, my home brew gauge mounting will have to do. Note to any LHD owners with grey/blue interior...a new Acura gauge pod is yours if you cover shipping.
Not wanting to let that factory "fog" light harness go unused, I pulled apart an old 30" light bar I bought from @2000UZJ a few years ago and mounted a couple pieces of it behind the bumper for some stealth off-road lighting.
Used slotted angle brackets I had in the garage and the lights bolted right up to a tab behind the bumper
Should work until I get a new bumper...wait...I'm trying not to fall down that slippery slope!
Now if only I'd tested all the LEDs before finishing things up. Oh well...9/10 isn't bad for a "free" lighting project like this. Love that this uses the factory switch/wiring and all fits without modification.
