If you’re like me, you like to add products to your Jeep that’ll enhance its performance and capability, which doesn’t mean chrome. It means lift kits, larger tires, and lockers. The only chrome on my recently acquired 2005 Rubicon Unlimited is the headlight bezels. I do plan on lifting the Jeep, adding the larger wheels and tires, and improving the lockers, but before all that I’m starting with something far simpler. And the rather unique US Speedo colored faceplate appealed to me.

Maybe it was the orange, or maybe it was just because all TJ/LJ models (TJ: 1997-2006; LJ: 2004-2006) that I’ve seen had the same black faceplate for its gauges and I wanted something different. And I really like being able to match the Jeep’s color with the dash’s faceplate.

If you have a blue Wrangler, a red one, or even a green one (or a Cherokee, a Grand, or even a Hummer, Chevrolet, Ram, or Ford truck), US Speedo can accommodate you with a matching-color faceplate—or a contrasting color. US Speedo also offers LED steering wheel lighting kits and other products you might want to check out.

This is not an easy upgrade. If you have any doubts as to your own mechanical ability, you may want to find a good shop to do the work. And there may be several adjustments necessary after you’re back on the road. Google “speedometer repair” for shop references.
