One of my friends recently bought a couple of Jeeps for parts, and he invited us over to come and grab something if we need it. Dave needed some new strikers, since Harry lost the ones I’d sent over to his place, and I was thinking about getting the dashboard from his Golden Eagle, since it has the factory tach and clock positions already punched through (from the factory). I’ve been slowly turning my Base model CJ-7 into a more generously optioned model, and since I needed a new tach because the SunPro column-mounted tach won’t work with the automatic column I now have, decided that the factory tach location was needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the ‘new’ dash panel from the Golden Eagle. Just needs to be cleaned-up and painted to match Dookie’s Smoke Gray factory paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another shot showing both tach and clock locations. I’d cut my driver side speaker hole too close to the headlight switch, so now I have another chance to try again. There is a toggle switch and a push-button right where the speaker needs to go, so no loss there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The poor plastic piece was toast, but that’s OK because I’m still on the fence as to whether I want a new one or not. I’m definitely thinking about getting a new set of black billet knobs for the HVAC\/Lights\/Wipers, since the bright aluminum ones I have are just a little too much ‘bright aluminum’ for my liking anymore. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
