Overhead console

Re: Overhead console
Considering that my XJ is box stock basic (speedo and gas gage), I'll
take whatever I can get! <G>
Are the computers different between the XJ and the JGC? Does anyone
have any idea just how different the vehicles electronics are? It would
be neat if I could get that stuff working but not the end of the world
if I can't.
It looks like the temp sensor is just a $20 part, so that shouldn't be
bad at all.
Actually one of my biggest concerns is how to support the thing.
Ahh, nothing like another challenge <G>
Thanks!

Re: Overhead console
I halfway expected a pushrod to impale the hood, but she still runs ok.
