Any one think they got me topped on over all daily weight hauled?
actual weight or weight over stock?

EDIT: Remember that "as stock"
I weigh 168 pounds more than you--(1753 vs 1585)

Dusty in there. Also you can see the insulation job I did to the duct work for the drivers side vent.

I never knew there to be a "C" when the high beams were on.

And the picture with the lights on, white led on clean gray looks good. I had to fight with the tac a little bit because when the nettle is removed it messed it up. After some thinking I knew when cold it idles at 900 or so-ish so while idle I stuck the pointer on...oh well I guess.

I just did this same stuff today, man is it a pain in the a$$ to get behind that cluster. I fought with the wiring forever and eventually just unhooked the speedo gear from the trans and fed the cable through so I could pull it all the way forward. Hot long deep scrapes all up my right arm and I messed my hand up trying to squeeze behind it. It looks sweet but it really tried my patience man.

Yours looks amazing! :rocker

thats why when i had my dash out i took the metal clips out of the back and made the wires a little longer because i am in and out of there often enough. but yes the first time i did it it was a squeeze

:shake means something needs to be fixed, or were you on a dirt road? 80 is a daily cruise, and many times I've needed to read a speed higher than 85. Especially on the 13" wheels, they are balanced and so smooth at interstate speed. Sometimes I got to be carefull, kicken back cruisin listening to some tunes chilln AC find myself going way to fast.
