Dakota digital gauge setup
I installed the Dakota gauge setup in my Bronco. I still have to run a tach wire and hook up the speed sensor to the T-case but other than that it is done. I set it up in the dash so I could see how the final outcome is going to look. It almost looks like a factory setup and goes perfect in there. The lenses were precision fit. This will be so much nicer to drive at night to be able to see the gauges.

They make teal and blue, I opted for the blue. I bought mine direct from Dakota instead of ebay because my Bronco is going to be in Bronco Driver magazine and Dakota will give me 25% back if there gauges appear in the article. I'm going to try and make sure that the gauges along with a small write up go in there.

Congrats on getting in the mag. You'll have to let me know what issue/month so I can be sure to pick it up.
F250Highboy...sorry I didn't get back to you. In the larger magazines it's basically by submission. Like a hey look at my truck kinda thing. If they like it, then they do a little write up on it. In the more local/regionalized mags you can get lucky and have someone come up and say hey...I wanna write on your rig. Not really sure how Ranger got his in, by submission or request. Usually, you have to exemplify the mag that you're rig is getting in. If it's a mud mag, then you better be slinging mud, if it's a street mag, then be ready for a show and shine.

1st off thanks f250hiboy. I've done a lot of work to both of them so it is nice to see when they are appreciated.
UTfballs were in the readers rides section. Mine will be in the BD mag because it was picked as FOTM over at FSB. I need to find a good spot to take some great pics at for the mag write up.
