    Another great vid. Kit looks so much nicer than the NVU stuff for these trucks. No surprise this is the go to gauge kit.

    I think I like the label idea! I guess mainly if anyone in the future!?...happens to end up in the dash? It would make things that much easier I guess!?...keep the momentum going with the videos man!, really looking forward to some pretty cool projects possibly bigger? Really liked the front suspension installation! 🇺🇲💯✌
