It just looks half-done to me. If you're going to do something like that I think you could do it well if you did it right. A steering column mounted tachometer? Not only does Jeep make a factory - mounted tach but it would look more the part while maintaining some of its roots.
It is a very nice build and obviously the owner takes great pride in it (and well he should). But why the different shades of tan for the interior? I could see how he thinks the windshield knobs look good tan (in this application) but why not keep them straight since they now stick out?
Centre console is... interesting; looks like it may interfere with the transfer case shifter (can the driver even see the shifter,?). But then I guess it helps the bright tan air con unit blend in a bit.....
