The dodge speedometer is off due to the over-sized tires and the odometer does not work. As a bonus the lighting is so dim I can't even see my gauges at night time. I picked up another SpeedHut gps speedometer/odometer. I installed my new unit over the old one. I modified an old light base (Ive been meaning to throw away) to work as a bezel. I also moved my cheesy pyro/boost guage.

Speed
Since the hummer doesn't have much of a wiring harness and I have no speed sensor I have no way of knowing my speed. I picked up this GPS speedometer/odometer from Speedhut. Installation was simple, it works killer and its American made.

Tires
A couple posts back you may notice the dodge is rocking the 37" tires that were on the hummer. These are what are currently on the hummer. 36" military surplus tires.

Lights
I have grown tired of my ghetto headlight knob setup. I purchased a 7/16-20 bolt, machined down the head drilled it out and shortened it. I also shortened the plastic knob so I would have the proper reach. I then chased the threads on the receiving part of the unit and assembled everything.

Jacked up
Apparently my hmmwv jack cant hold up to civilian vehicles. I tried to lift the front of the dodge (during the recent tire change) and the jack broke. I made a run to sears and picked up this bottle jack and it did the job beautifully.
