LMM: This Afternoons Project

Finally got around to adding my oil temp guage. Moved the 4WD switch and put the guage where the switch was.

looks nice Jason

Thanks, it could have came out a little better when you look close to where the 4wd knob is though. Oh well

Great idea!!

I can't tell you how many times I hear my buddy say he almost put the damn thing in 4wd because of that stupid ass knob and it's placement!

I think I'll print this to show it to him and give him an idea of what could be changed to help it!

Jason where did you install the probe?

Jason where did you install the probe?

I removed the plug on the top side of the oil cooler/oil filter head. It takes a 10mm allen.

How did you move the switch? I've never looked at how it is mounted.

It also show pre-cooler temps

If you pop out the black plastic piece surrounding the two knobs, the two switches come out together. Then just push the tabs holding the 4WD switch out and it comes right out. Really simple.

200* or less would be ideal..
