Thanks for Sharing. Sweet Ride. Love the LS. I have owned Jeeps for over 40 years. It is just in the Blood.

You’re welcome, I agree the LS just seems to work so well and package fairly easily.

I have a couple questions..... When are you LS swapping yours? When are you making merch available?

@foregonetrails Ай бұрын

Haha mine are staying with the motors they have. Unless something catastrophic happen. My next “from scratch” build will have an LS though. For all your merch needs: foregone-trails.printify.me/products/1

Brother been pretty happy with the Speedhut Gauges? Issues? Problems? Inconsistency? 4" seems to be the max you can go unless you widen the hole?

No issues so far with them. Really like the added ease of GPS on the speedometer. We used this stores.partsdude4x4.net/dash-plate-3-hole-with-hardware/ to mount the gauges. They only fit a 3 3/8” gauge. But you might be able to squeeze a 4” with the right fab work.
