New gauge face and speedo/tach swap. Thanks Jason!
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!
