If you're looking to upgrade your Jeep's dash, the MHX Series from Dakota Digital is a solid choice. This isn’t just another generic gauge set; it’s a direct-fit instrument system that combines that classic look with modern tech. Say goodbye to your old gauges and hello to a fresh setup that fits perfectly in your Jeep CJ3, CJ5, CJ6, or CJ-7 from '55 to '86. The machined aluminum and powder-coated bezels give it a rugged appearance, while the water-resistant electronics mean you can hit the trails without worrying about the elements.

One of the standout features is how easy it is to read. The fully lit needles and backlit faces ensure you can see everything at a glance, even in bright sunlight. Plus, the LCD message center is super clear, showing you all the info you need without any fuss. Inside, you’ll find precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that provide accuracy you can trust. And if you’re the kind of person who likes to customize, you’ll appreciate the user-friendly display feedback options. Dakota Digital backs this with a lifetime warranty, which is pretty reassuring.
