I made an early morning trip from Huntington Beach to Canyon Country this morning to have my speedometer changed by Jason Night of Xclusive Scions. His company Custom xB Gauges puts out some great gauge faces. I have been running one of his for about a year and have had lots of great comments on it.

It was time for a change so I had Jason make a new face for me and while he was at it, he changed my speedo to my tach and my tach to my speedo! What an awesome mod. Here are some pics and a video showing the new look.

Thanks Jason for all the hard work and for letting me barge in on your Sunday morning. Mahalos!

Heading for Canyon Country


Removing the gauge housing and assembly


Remove the three gauge needles and the faceplate


Remove the wiring harness plug from the back of the gauge housing


Remove the screws and tabs holding the back of the gauge housing assembly on


Remove the wiring leads from the circuit board being careful not to damage the connector or the board


When the leads are disconnected it will look like this


Using a razor blade, separate the two end leads on the left and right of the wire ribbon




Swap the middle sections over each other and reinsert the wire ribbon


If done correctly it will look like this...the pretzel wire mod


Installation is the reverse of the removal. This is how the new speedo face and gauge swap looks...HAWT!


Here's a video of the new tach location


I'm diggin' it!

Many thanks again Jason for doing this swap. You ROCK!

 

Got any contact info for him? I would love to have an OEM style one made, just swapped.


Thanks!
Keith

 

That's really cool... How accurate is the speedo now?

Everything is right on the money. He set it all up ahead of time with a digital meter and it works great.
