If the speedometer part works I'll take it :) I might be able to Frankenstein one together. Got a picture?

The interwebs tell me that the Omix Ada ones are junk.

Do you think you will be looking at the Speedo if your 5 is approaching 85?

I assumed one that maxed at 85 had a different rate than one that maxed at 90, so when it showed I was going 60 I would actually be going 65 or something.

with 33's instead of 215's you will be about 15mph faster anyway....haha

i dont think the speedo has its own calibration... its a gear inside the Tcase...
Title: Re: CJ Speedometer?
Post by: rejeep on April 11, 2013, 09:35:48 AM
that came out wrong.. everything is calibrated to something... I think the gear in the Tcase indicates the position of the needle..

Well, I called the guy and its the speedometer I need! Im headed over tomorrow, sounds like he just wants to get rid of the crap so I'll be picking up the other dash lights/gauges and that intake manifold. Anyone want me to get something while Im there? No idea on his prices, but they're all dirt cheap.
