How is that not clear??? The box does not fit on the motor, too bucoo, no room...

Fits on mine. You might have to spin the motor, if it's spinnable.

you must be outside your damn mind. :D No actually I meant he should get the 12Voltguy wiring but I am sure his Dad can figure out which wires to tap into. For example:

Robbie's Dash (work of art by his Dad if I must say so)

Copy the one on the left, and instead of the Red switch put in a Contura rocker whatever switch like the rest of his and then have the buttons with the engraving. Would look peemp under the gauges, angled like the rest of his switches...

meh, I think 12volt guy stuff is garbage.

You ever either A)run one of his panels, or B) looked at his wiring on the back of one of his panels?

Just curious as to understand why you would feel that way? Bad Experience?

ill agree that is overpriced, its a piece of aluminum with switches, not that hard.

nice, but not worth what he charges.

radio shack switches, cheap looking labels, thin metal, and its a switch panel. I don't get it.

look at that tj switch panel he sells and think if you would be ok with something like that on your dash.

I'll take a picture of the custom one he built for my dad's 40 to cover the "radio" slot and post it. Pop's seems happy with it, somethings are worth more to folks who don't have to deal with any problems. I think the value of the panel came in the very clear instructions of how to tie into his winch control which really helped him. I think Ed has one of his big panels too.

Wiring in a dash mount winch controller is not rocket science and I don't think adding some cheesedick "arming" switch completes the package...


That said take the 12voltguy debate somewhere else. Yes, I agree that his stuff looks cheap and having dozens of arming switches mounted on a shiney aluminum panel does not make it cool, it looks like ass.

Got a few upgrades for the Barn Burner.

Still waiting on the PSC power steering pump to arrive. Need to get the front driveshaft rebuilt for a 1350 dual cv flange setup.

Once you buy a disco though, your teeth start rotting out and you get that limey stench that you can never wash off. :flipoff2:

what size tires did you go with?

Fawkin sweet Robbie tell us some more about the efi system.
