Subject:Accessory dreams was: Looking for instrument cluster or tachometer

Wow! Who knew?  But, not something I’m going to look for!  Only in fun.  I will try very hard to avoid cold weather trips in the van.  Mainly to keep it healthy.  But, sometimes it is unavoidable.

I am enjoying the addition of fun USB and LED devices though.  Remote control lights, and fans and usb and solar charging, what fun!
