I bought a dash like yours (speaker holes stamped that way) for my wife's Scrambler from a private party on Ebay. I wondered, who made it?

Rugged ridge/Omix ADA. My OEM dash had been cut for the stereo head unit by the original owner.
You grab bar looks great on there!!

She’s alive! Well, electrically at least! Everything works, starter turns, lights all work and fans work. I’ve got a few gremlins to chase, the elec radiator fan runs continuously and I’ve got a loose wire on the headlight. But everything works!! I need to tie down and conceal a few more wires and a couple odds and ends and it’s ready to head back to the shop.

It’s been a long time coming, all the body work is complete and brought it home from the shop, finally… I have some final assembly to go and then figure out why the fuel pump won’t stay engaged on the Howel TBI. Then testing time!

Going to 35s, created a bunch issues clearing up front. Had to push everything forward 1.75” from stock which played hell with the steering. But we got it sorted out.

Thank you! The 3.5” B.S. really helped

Those are trail ready beadlocks in polished aluminum with the slim ring.
We had to create a custom pitman arm to raise it up over the tie rod and then went to a Heim joint at the pitman arm to clear the steering gear. It’s tight but clears when flexed.
We tried a bunch of different options like high steer kits and combinations of them and stock but landed here. It didn’t help that I had put in a PSC big bore steering box that took up even more room

We combined two pitman arms and stacked them creating the offset that we could not get any other way. It is also about .5” longer.
Then in the spring, once everything in this stage is sorted, we are going to add a PSC Ram assist which will take most of the load off the gear and pitman.

A couple more details added today. I found a set of stainless T bolts on eBay and the Aluminum rockers went right back on.

Thank you!
I was overruled and my wife said no on the decals. She loves it the way it is, considering she supports my addiction, I had to agree
