HEMI Swap Jeep Renegade pt. 26 3D Printed Gauge Cluster 

It really is pretty impressive how far technology has come lately, and the price point for entry into this stuff is so much lower than just a couple years ago. Plus there's so many resources here to watch tutorials and what not. Thanks for following along!

Hel yeah, Thanks! It did turn out pretty nice, I almost don't believe it's something I made lol.

hell yeah man, thanks! It's taking way more work than I though starting off, but it's been great learning new skills along the way.

Thanks man, this type of fabrication has really opened so many possibilities with this build, and should definitely help get it done. It does take quite a bit of time unfortunately, but as long as it gets done right we should be good.

@@HEMIGADE no rushes at all, I hope to watch couple more videos, it’s satisfying and inspiring!

Thanks! I'm really enjoying learning this new skillset and pushing my abilities a little further. Whatever it takes to get this thing done!

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I didn't realize just how much work (and time) would go into this project, but the process has been so much fun.

I done a full mecanical restoration on a car only once... damn all the time that I was like, I'm there why not change that... and at the end it add up to the time and budget of that build

@joblo24 it really can get out of hand quick, and I try not to think about how much I've spent on it lol

Thanks! Hopefully more progress coming soon.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. It does feel great to be back working on this thing and making progress again.

Thanks! I've spent the last couple days really really digging into this thing, so more updates coming soon.

Thanks man, I've been working on it all day so we're getting closer.

Thanks! It really is so useful, and with no price barrier for makers it's such a great tool. I just got done designing some sheet metal plates to fill in some of the frame I just cut, and it took less than an hour. I would have been in the garage cutting cardboard, then tracing and cutting and grinding for a couple hours at least. Now just have to send the files to the cnc plasma and we're good to go. I appreciate the support too, Thanks!

Man I was just thinking about your setup yesterday as I was dropping the engine (getting ready to weld up the firewall). It does suck that life just gets in the way of projects, but I'm sure when the time's right you'll get it knocked out no problem. Thanks for the support as always, and can't wait to see what you come up with. Also, good luck with the new venture!

@@HEMIGADE thank you brother!!

Thanks man, I really do appreciate it. It feels so good to be back working on something and making progress on this thing. I'm still not back 100%, I still get dizzy if I do too much, and have to take breaks a lot, but as long as I can still go I'm gonna keep at it.

I appreciate the encouragement! I worked all day on it and barely made any progress, but at least it's moving forward.

Thanks man, it's great to be back making videos on this thing.

Thanks! I had a ton of fun making it.

damn, you got somewhere I can check that out at? that sounds like a ton of fun. K swap sounds like the way to go though, since there isn't that much room in these things.

Thank you! Y'alls support has really kept me going on this build

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you like the build so far!

Thanks man, I'm trying! Tools are probably my favorite thing (other than new project cars), they definitely help build the skillset to work on all my projects.

Man you just gotta get out there and go for it. I found that the motivation didn't really come until I started working on it and making progress, and now I'm full speed ahead again. It does suck when you lose motivation on a project, though.

it's getting there!

Thanks!

Thank you, and thanks for the support from Panama!

Cool, I wasn't sure but if that's how it is, it's gonna stay. Thanks!

Definitely lol, for sure taking it to the dealership too

yeah, it did get a little out of hand

Thanks! I'm actually welding up the firewall right now (taking a lunch break lol) so hopefully in the next couple days.

Can't wait for the episode ❤

The Renegade was FWD only, but I'm using the RWD drivetrain from the Dodge Charger. I'd love to make this thing AWD, but the front would be very difficult to make work since the suspension was relocated in relation to the engine.

I don't mind at all. I work in the Industrial Instrumentation (process measurement) field for perto-chemical refineries. Yeah tools can get a little pricey, but the 3D scanner is one of the cheapest on the market, and the X1-C is on a card (0%). I built my CNC plasma table from scratch, and that took a few years. I try to be as financially responsible as possible (ryobi and harbor freight), but I do love me some tools.

@@HEMIGADE is that like a consultant or engineer?

@@rogerwoodvlogs7428 Nah I'm not that smart lol (no degree). I deal with planning and scheduling the maintenance side of the work (calibrations and repairs), no longer on my tools which isn't that bad.

No offense brother. I've bin watched from episode 1 to this point and will continue to current time January 16 2023. Been watching and made several assumptions like no way can this guy be married he spends too much time outside happy and this guy has a well paying job with no degree cause you're a hustler man not afraid to jump right in head first. In my experience not many college degree types will take on tasks like this. They just don't do well at the risk of failure.... Keep crushing it sir I'm here from a RU-vid short the other day have been looking at doing a hemi avenger someday myself just to be wild as hell and stay busy.

Yeah, it's a Ryobi screw driver, and comes in pretty handy usually. It's USB rechargeable and holds a charge for a while. I used it to assemble a cnc router table with a couple hundred screws, and definitely saved my wrist.

@HEMIGADE thanks just found it home depot exclusive and ordered it lol
