The TACH will be VSS digital feed, not cheap.
The plastic/nylon lines work great, no worries. Just think how great the ARB air nylon lines work.. lol PTFE is almost as cheap
Get a bluetooth elm327 for your OBDII port, buy a tablet for 99 bucks, download the torque app and you got all your gauges... Done! There are black boxes to interface more sensor inputs.

TAC not Tach
Throttle Actuator Control for DBW. I'm not planning on running VSS.I plan on getting a bluetooth OBDII plug... but I believe the only reading that goes through the PCM is for the tach. Oil pressure, speed and engine temp will all be run independently.
Re: Ben and Kami’s TJ Overhaul
Keeping it simple makes it easy to operate and use. The harness for your 6.0 from the PCM can have wires setup for tach, tcc lockup, speedo, idiot lights.
H2O sensor on the passenger rear head. Use metric adapter, autometer 2277
Try to get the e85 injectors, makes for a richer tune.
Sounds fun, welcome to the LS1Tech forum...

Awesome Ben! I think the LQ4 and an auto will make the TJ so much more fun to drive! Can't wait to see it when it's back together.

We haven't looked for one yet, but I don't see any problems finding them. I can get your MAF, MAP and o2's on the cheap, as well. Genuine GM; only way to roll!

U fab knows his stuff when it comes to the LQ4 motors and lS1's. He is right about the torq app it is amazing i use it to view all my vitals and diagnois drivabiltiy problems all the time at my shop and on my rigs and i use th elm327 blue tooth adapter. Looks like the motor and tranny swap will be great hope to see you at KOH of the hammers i will have my rig down there and will be at the team ADS tent
Didn't make it in time for KOH, and decided we'd rather not go w/out the jeep. So I got some work done on it instead
Our dash was in rough shape, and with the switch panel and gauge changes this was good timing to do a flat panel dash. It's amazing how much visibility we will gain by lowering the dash bar. Here's a before pic (on Britney):
After pulling all the plastic:

Custom dash. I'm still trying to figure out the right look. Initially I was going to do a completely flat dash, but Kami wouldn't be able to reach the switch panel (ignition) while strapped in. I'm going to skin this with poster board to see if I like the look.

Any updates on this build?
And do you have any more wheeling pictures you could share?
Looking at your rig make me want to get out and work on mine.

After not finishing in time to go down to KOH, build mode has entered snail pace. I have still been working on it a few nights a week, but it's slow going. I got the atlas remounted a few nights ago, only to realize that I badly need a clocking ring so I can do a flat belly pan.
Here are a few of my favorites from the last few years:
