+ Are These Stickers?

Nope! Our gauge faces are OE-style plastic, cut and printed with various levels of clear to ensure a factory-look replacement. No cutting. No slicing. No need to modify the gauge face we send to you--it is designed to replace your existing gauge face for your particular model, not overlay the factory's.

+ How Do I Know What I Need?

We came up with handy diagrams to break down the gauges and how the factory lights are. But, we all know Jeep® loves to mix things up. Refer to these charts, and if you don’t see yours on one of the sheets, drop us a line and we’ll get you squared-away.

+ Do I need to change my lights? LED Swap?

Nope! Our gauge are designed to work with the factory placed indicator lights, allowing your Check Engine Light to shine proudly through! (pending on the model)

In the older RENIX / HO styles, your light comes from around the gauge, so plan accordingly.

+ Just Jeep®?

We started in 2012 with Cherokee (XJ) gauges, and while we plan on offering more makes in the future, for now its only Jeep® models. Keep looking though!

+ Do you make metric gauges?

We have shipped parts to 22 nations, and have some of our patterns available in metric, and are converting more every month.

+ I Have a '97 TJ. Make a gauge kit for my Jeep®?

The 97-98 TJ came with the similar gauge faces as later years, however the AC controls on those 2 years are a slider style, and due to lack of interest over the years, we decided to stop offering that portion.

Our 99-04 options will fit the gauge face, as long as you can verify with our style sheet against your factory gauge layout to be sure of trouble light layout.

+ What about YJ Wranglers?

YJ gauges have age issues that prevent us from modding them correctly. Brittle plastic surrounds and delicate mechanical gauge motors make the disassembly for proper backlit modding almost impossible without breaking something.

We are always on the lookout for a solution to this that will allow for a great look and ease of installation, so its not a solid ‘no’. If you have a suggestion to this, we are all ears and would love to enter this Jeep® segment.

+ What about Grand Cherokees (ZJ / WJ)?

The ZJ / WJ gauge market is one that we tried a few times to break into for a few years, but were never successful in securing interest.

Until we have the staff to diversify into more lines and designs for older Jeep®, we will be on hold. If you have an outfitter that is interested that deals specifically with these, let us know.

+ How come the older Cherokee gauges are cheaper than other models?

Since the older XJ gauges are side lit and have no windows or backlit trouble lights, they are much quicker to produce and take less time and materials to fabricate.

+ Can you add sensor displays?

We’ve added boost, air fuel ratio, and other displays to clusters before. One of our favorites to work with because of the look and form factor is Zada Tech, which featured in our 2019 SEMA work with Max-Bilt Offroad and their Hellcat-powered JKU, which needed a good OLED boost gauge to go with the supercharged motor.

Let us know you needs when you contact us.

+ I don’t see a particular style on your site?

Growing pains keep some of our listings a bit jumbled. However, if you have seen a custom job online, it is something we can offer, but these most likely will have a custom fee included.

We offer custom jobs in general a 1 week exclusivity minimum, so there is a time that the person that commissioned the order can claim to have the only example and show it off.

+ DO YOU OFFER CLUSTERS OR JUST FACES?

While we do often find surplus OEM gauges for some models and sell them, our main gauge products are faces and customization services / parts.

+ Can you put a photo of my kids / dog in the gauge cluster?

We haven’t found a way to do that particular graphic treatment to keep it looking good, while being readable and have it age well. Sorry!

+ I have a Star Wars themed Jeep®, can you do a custom with the ___ logo on it?

We don’t provoke the mouse. However, check out our Rally series with the white background, or our Retro theme for the older XJs. That might be the look you are going for, without some of the logos.

+ Can you do up a couple designs with (insert idea here) and I’ll pick one if I like it?

Sorry, but no—we only work on paid / commissioned designs, to keep it fair to our graphic artists, existing and past customers, and people waiting on our list.

+ how do the needles come out on jeep jk/u clusters?

The needles are balanced, so make sure you are taking your time when removing / installing them—the last thing you want to have happen is a needle to bend on it’s input shaft.

The trick is to grab the needle by the base (where it inserts into the cluster) and use the twist-and-pull method.

If that isn’t working, you can try something to give you a little leverage—something along the lines of a metal fork—just to gently lift from underneath as you pull from the top.

You can see some of this action in out troubleshooting video.

+ do you make / offer new cluster needles?

We do not. Those are balanced, and we currently don’t have an ‘in’ with the manufacturer of them, nor do we have the equipment in-house to make them here.

+ how long does it take to swap out my jk/u gauge face?

We’ve had customers literally do them in the parking lot at off-road shows; it can be a quick swap (if you are familiar with the disassembly process) or can take a couple hours.

+ Will your Xj linkage fit my Cherokee? It has a lift...?

Our top selling XJ linkage has been installed on thousands of XJs around the world, from the first 1986 models with the V6, to the 2001 final versions.

Most lift kits will not effect the setup, however some extra adjustment or tweaking may be necessary with aftermarket crossmembers that include a built in drop.

+ Will the XJ kit work with a transfer case drop?

On a Cherokee, we have seen our kits used with 1” drops and more. A transfer case drop typically means that the crossmember that contains the transmission mount is lowered with spacers, and this moves the case down further than the transmission since it hangs off the end.

If your motor mounts and trans mount are not in good condition, the drop amount can exceed the limits of the ideal geometry for our kit.

We do have the option to purchase longer rods from our TJ kit if you want to tackle this setup. In our experience as XJ owners, we don’t usually recommend these drops due to the issues they can create as parts wear and the drivetrain moves.

+ I have a 242 transfer case; will this kit work?

We have lots of XJs in the wild with our kit installed with a 242. If you have one of these, and a transfer case drop, you may need to extend your upper lever.

For those with the ability to do so, this could mean welding, or an easier route would be to buy one of our spare part upper link plates and chain them together in your install.

+ Will the XJ kit work with my Comanche?

The drive train is nearly identical to that of the Cherokee. The fitment is the same.

+ Will the XJ kit work on a TJ?

Sorry—no.

The TJ kit has been discontinued. A standalone YJ kit is in the works.

+ Will this work with a tummy tuck / clocked transfer cases?

Typically, no—sorry.

+ Will this work with a 2 Low or TeraLow kit?

Reports from XJ customers tell us—yes—though we have not tested it. Most TJ setup will not have enough throw for low-gear conversions, although this could be altered by cutting the floor shift gate.

+ I installed the XJ kit and the plates are too close!

Some XJs, usually those with 5-speed manuals use a TJ shift lever. Version 7 of our linkage kit includes geometry to handle this, see this video on how to simply mod the upper plate.

+ I installed the TJ kit and the plates are too close!

See the above modification for the XJ kit.

We also suggest using an externally threaded rod end (McMaster part number 6072K13). This will unfortunately lose the turnbuckle adjustment, but will drop the length up to 2” shorter.

+ What size is the adjustment rod? I lost mine.

Our center adjustment rods are specialty made in California, from US stainless steel, rolled for strength. They are a 3/8 thread, and you can find replacements here in our store.

+ I hear a rattle at idle coming from my 4x4 lever, is this normal?

If there is any vibration in the drivetrain, since we do not use a plastic or rubber bushing, some vibrations might transmit better.

Chock the tires, put the transfer case in ‘N’ and check your driveshafts and u-joints—just to be sure—if you have already made sure your linkage is tight.

+ My TJ or YJ needs a bit more throw to get to 4L.

Most customers that said they needed a bit more lever travel to get into 4L reliably have modified their floor gate to extend how much the lever can move.
