1983 Scrambler "STUMP JUMPER". Frame off, 5.3 Conversion.

Sure they bleed through some but a couple coats of paint should help.
 
They are also off in color big time.. If you use them you need to replace all six. And they don't go as nicely with the oem speedo lighting.
 
J.J. now you got me thinking. Not sure how the dash lights are going to work out with the new custom Speed Hut gauges I have ordered. I wonder if there is someone who can build custom dash lights maybe with LED's.
 
The lights are blue compared with "CJ dash light cream" which I think is their correct description. I'm not a fan.
I have my YouTube finger poised for the fire up vid Dennis.
 
I changed my dash indicators bulbs with white led. Its not a straight swap . You will have to take the covers off and solder the led bulb in. And make the led point foward when u close it up as most are directional.

I'm just building this thing, it's never going to actually run. LOL
I will certainly make a video if it ever does though.

Don't you mean "dash light green"? there is nothing wrong with the OEM lights, when in proper working order.... :wave: :smokin:

Thanks for that info, that's just what I was thinking.
 
Some things are more expensive than Jeeps to maintain.

I did the same thing but I used red LEDs. I have to add a resistor so I can dim them a bit to match the light output of the Speedhut gauges.



sanded of the blue/green coating on the inside.



Had to file down the LED to get it to fit in the housing.









 
Great job Karma. Now does anyone know someone who can custom make the glass covers for the front?
I would like them to simply say, FAN HEAT COLD VENT

Speed Hut Gauges update. I'm some what disappointed. Every where in there catalog they say 7-10 day build to ship. Well it's been 12 days and mine still wont ship for at least another week. That's almost double what they advertise. Now I did not realize that each gauge gets built by hand and that does take time. My only suggestion to the person I was talking to was that they changed their advertised build time to reflect actual time and that honesty was just as important as building a quality product.

May have something to do with "Tax Returns" :wave:
 
While waiting for the brown truck to bring me a load of parts I decided I would hook up my fuel filler and vent line to the Genright tank. When I installed the tank it came with new hoses and instructions to lengthen both hoses with the supplied kit so I did. So when I went to install the filler I see that now the hoses are too long by the exact length that I had made them. Just another one of those happy days you have when building a Jeep. And par for the course I has out of that size hose clamps.

If they don't take care of the customers first they won't have to worry about tax returns next year. I hope someone over there is reading this.

I quit for today. Three strikes and I'm out. I was expecting the front and back bumpers I ordered from 4 WD to come in today so I called them and they told me it would now be the middle of March. SOB. This is the second time they do this to me. There won't be a third. Ask me if I'm pissed.

Solution is simple

Go inside upstairs
Close eyes spin around
Point finger
Grab bang bang selection
Go out and peel off a couple hundred rounds into latest 4wd catalog
Repeat
