Speedhut Gauges in your 60... wow! Best money spent!

Yup, still got the 2f

Does the white face gauge set use EL like some of the aftermarket ricer racer dashes, or does it use normal bulb/led. Wondering how bright at night the white face would be.

El wire, for sure.

(Holler at me if you’d like a set, I’m dealer)

How much do you typically charge to install a set?

 

[boerboel313]

El wire, for sure.

If you don't have time to do it right, then when will you have time to do it over?

Come to this part of the build. For those interested, gauges are 15% off through the end of the month.

I really love mine

I'd like to do that on my 62, but the wiring involved gives me pause. Even with my degree, I still don't like tackling large wiring projects.

Not really all that hard... mount sending unit run supplied wiring for each sending unit that plugs right in the plug other end into gauge little more it than that but they make it pretty simple amd if your good at reading and comprehending instructions your good to go.

Did mine a while ago.

 

[TallCityCruzer]

Wow!! Those gauges look NICE!

 

[Hojack]

Not sure if I like white or black background better.

 

[workingdog]

It's a very hard choice. If I did it again, I'd go white.

Any issues with the tach or fuel gauge senders? I know when I installed my Mallory 6AL box years ago I had to install a tach adapter for my OEM tach to work, but if I can eliminate that little part and use the normal tach output of the Mallory box, that'd be cool. So really the fuel gauge and sender (wiring aside) would be my biggest concern, especially if there's no easy method for calibration.

All that is done by the gauges can be programmed for any tach signal output the fuel gauge uses the factory landcruiser sending unit and you have to learn it to the gauge when full and empty

Why white over black? Color contrast? Visibility?

What size gauges did you go with? 4-1/2” or 4” for larger and 2-1/16” or 2-5/8” for the smaller?

 

[workingdog]

It's been so long, I can't remember. All I remember is that it's obvious once you measure the holes in the dash. The gauges fit almost perfectly.

@FJ60Cam said he’d get us 20% off Speedhut gauges if we could get an order of 4 together. I’m going to order so need 3 more if interested post here and we can order through him. The more the merrier.
