Yeah im pretty happy with it just hurts the pocket when you have to pull more money out. Im laying low from the wife for a week lol

After reading through Gary’s post I decided to run the same set up in my ute with the Dakota digital gear display and B&M pro ratchet.

I went off to JayCar and got all the lights and Molex joiner.

Played around with different ideas but settled on the below.

Busy day today, up early to drop the ute off for the diff rebuild. Got a call not long after telling me the LSD is cactus and the options where LSD $400 Eaton True Trac $600 or a Detroit for $900. Decided on the Eaton which i think will be best in the long run. Also found out the handbrake shoe’s had had it as well.

Not a cheap day but $2000…[Read more]

Hey Gary might be a silly question but did you use resistors when wiring the shift lights? Or did you run the positive straight to the dakota unit?

Im a fan of the A pillar or you can do what i did run it in the aircon vent for something different.

The centre console seems to be the best place for multiple gauges.

That will look nice with those gauges, take some photos of what your doing if you can.

I’m thinking of adding some extra gauges soon.

Cheers mate. Its all coming together now. Putting it in summernats for a bit of fun.

It has been white walled now and i’m happy with it, understand its not everyone’s choice but don’t plan on having the tyres on it long lol.

Its a clean looking car mate.

What plans have you got for the diff upgrade?

Thanks Cava but ill see how the Dakota works out.

Great, thanks Gary i have ordered the Dakota unit yesterday so should arrive with the shifter this week ready to fit up over the long weekend.

I may go a little different to you for the display but haven’t decided yet.

Cheers

Bloody great work Gary thanks for adding some photos, i know what ill be doing next week. This forum is awesome!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I have just booked the ute in for the diff on monday for 3.7s decided it was the best all round and suits the supercharger a bit better.

Hey Gary, i managed to get a black gear knob for my B&M pro ratchet from the states for $32 landed, remember you saying a while ago you where looking for one. It comes with adaptors but standard thread is 1/2-20.
