Here it is in the daylight. Everything is wired up, soldered, and heat shrunk. Going to need to fine tune the calibration on both and the tach needs a signal filter because the treating is erratic and way off. I used the marlin magnetic speed sensor for the speedo gear

Thanks Ben! Mechanical reason actually. There was/is a gremlin somewhere in the system and the dash lights would no longer come on at night. So I opted for something completely standalone from the factory setup. Because who likes chasing gremlins?

Got the tow rig plated and insured yesterday. Also got all the building materials for our new shop offloaded from it. First run of the year is this weekend and I am looking forward to it!

They do great! Need shocks up there though... too bouncy and road manners suck with a full camping load
