The Year-long Saga of Fixing the Gauges in my vintage Jeep CJ5!

It took well over a year to produce this video of my work to get all of the gauges working in my 1977 CJ5 Jeep! I hope you enjoy the ups and downs of this frustrating project!

Ages ago, my ‘70 CJ5 quit running on me. It took me months figuring out why it wouldn’t start. Turned out the gas gauge(that didn’t work anyway) was shorting out. Problem was that when it happened it shorted out the entire ignition system.

Wow! That's a frustrating failure, and good to look out for!

Does it truly reaches 90 m/h?

[@DrPronghorn]

I think it could, I've only gotten up to 75 mph, but it had more speed to give. I'm not sure how safe the handling woud be at 90.
