That’s a good looking speedo! I’m curious at how well it works. The speedo in my CJ is bad and I’ve been looking at that one for a while.

This is the forth Speedhut and 3rd CJ version I have used (going to use..). They work great. The only thing is the chroming on the standard bezel doesn’t last. That is why this one has the anodized option.
 
I picked up a Holley 302-1 oil pan. The truck pan is too deep for the super flat skid plate I am planning.

I wanted to get Dirtylife beadlocks, but I needed more backspacing than they offer. These have 5.28” BS. Trailready wheels have a lot of backspacing, but their inner bead lip width does not work with Pitbull Rockers. These wheels solve both problems and are American made like Trailready.
 
Hutcherson make beautiful wheels. If I ever go to 8 lug on mine, I’ll get another set of them.

Here are some pictures of the rim face on a front unit bearing. The rotor is in there too. I wanted to see how far the hub stuck out.

My other gauges arrived. I may have to come up with a 4th gauge to even things out...

I really do like those gauges. Did you have to customize the order to keep the classic look? The ones on the website have a slightly different look.

I ordered with the black centers for the pointers and the bezel silver anodized. Everything else was standard

Thank you. I think that’s the direction the Scrambler’s going in. I really like the Speedo with the tach built in too.
