Thanks Trey, so the great thing about these Dakota Digital HDX gauge systems are they read in both MPH and KPH ... The main is in MPH because this truck will be sold in the US as soon as she's done, OR she may travel to SEMA in 2025 ... Nobody has ever taken a FJ55 to this level do we will see

Cheers
Steve

Nice! OK, I was thinking that since it only had one scale and had MPH in the middle that it was only set for US roads. It's a great looking gauge panel. Thanks, Steve

Kinda makes me want to build one of these next.

Beautiful...simply, beau-t-ful!!

CHOP CHOP !!

Here we go ..... don't think this has EVER been done before to an FJ55

You're welcome.


Years ago we owned a Land Rover Evoque with the Glass Roof. It was so cool leaning back and looking up at the stars at night with the family.

Such an awesome idea and I can't wait to see it completed.

Getting VERY close to paint, and grabbed some shots with the dash face now completely removed and replaced with the mock-up. Also positioned carbon louvers in final position.

Great idea on the sunroof, Steve. :cool:

That’ll help you keep that healthy glow…

:popcorn2:

Winters coming buddy !!

I cannot wait to see the roof painted with the sunroof.

So Camaro is pretty much wrapped up and I cannot tell you how excited I am to be back on this one ... Check out this dash, fresh out of the machine shop and I cannot be happier with the results

Wow! That’s a tough decision.
Probably need to see next to everything including all the colors and textures of the dash.

Chris, thanks and exactly the plan ... getting some Cerekote colour samples on Friday. Will post all samples

Cheers
