Let me know about that '22 display. I don't have plans to relocate mine but I do like what they've done with it.

I‘ve been noticing the Talon seats sit me too straight up and pushed forward recently. I met a guy with a Talon X and while I was sitting in the cab, checking out his setup, he asked - ‘notice anything different?’

Yes, I do, I’m not getting pushed forward.

He had 1-1/2” spacers in the front and 1” spacers in the rear, raising his seat. I’m going to try those dimensions, they were just right for me.

Jeep risers fit perfectly and you can find them pretty cheap on eBay in a multitude of sizes. I went with 1.5" and it was like driving a different machine. I'm 5'11" and why the 1.5" I can see just over the top of my bumper now. Be really simple to make some too, but they are pretty dang cheap on eBay.

The wiring is different due to the Live Valve and Launch Mode being integrated in the cluster so I don’t know yet but decided to see. I liked the layout better.

Well I’m hoping this works out. Ordered harness tonight.

Oooo thats intriguing!
where did u get it and how much did it set u back if u dont mind me asking?

I know a guy who's pretty good at that wiring stuff..... Looks to be the same size though?

Got the dash nameplate done tonight. Spent my lunch getting the nameplate done so could install real quickly tonight.
Went pearl white background to tie in the speakers as well as match the outside. Also repainted the nameplate to match interior trim and the blue on fenders rather then roll cage. I custom tinted that as well.

From certain angles the white has a 3d look because it’s 1/2 below nameplate on opposing side of the clear Lexan. I love that, doesn’t just look like a sticker.

this is lit up with interior console lighting on

Then in dark

Blue automatically comes on with key but when switched on it’ll light up whatever color speaker/rings and soon headlights, whips and ground lighting does as well as beat to the music.Passengers will remember they are in a Talon not some pos RZR😉

Is it dimable?

I’d doubt it but don’t know. Suppose to be some new features but we’ll see

Gauges are not my Forte, I look at my fuel level and keep it on The temp gauge. Only 2 things I somewhat need to know. I'm sure it will turn out great on yours.

Cluster was only 99 at Ron Ayer’s. But needs at least harness, don’t do it until can see if it works. Harness and relocation kit on backorder but supposedly off here shortly. Whole deal including screws, gauge, housing and harness is 175.

Yes. Looks to be direct bolt.

Dam that aint bad! Mine is non live valve don know if that will make a difference? Im interested to see how she works!

I am showing 2 different gauge clusters for 22 talon which is surprising. One is LV and one isn’t. Wasn’t that way before, cluster fit everything including the 1000
I would assure non LV is direct plug and only reason LV isn’t is because the 21 down LV harness splits for the second light panel. Can’t confirm that yet though. If this doesn’t work for me I’ll pick up the non LV cluster and see.

They moved the LV indicators from the dash into the cluster and eliminated the one in the dash so that now makes 2 different clusters.

The '22 harness will not fit. The '19-21 harness included the cluster, power plug and dash switches all in the same harness and a separate pigtail from the main harness for the LV indicator. The '22 split that up into 2 harnesses, one for the cluster and the other for the power plug, and dash switches and then removed the pigtail and combined the LV wires into the meter harness.

You will need to make a very custom harness or hack it all up to make it work or use the non-LV cluster (assuming they didn't change the plug or pin locations) and move the LV indicators to the center (the LV pigtail will reach that far).

Ya I’ve been concerned that might be the outcome, possibly have to go with non LV. It’s already on order in case. That’s why I’ve suggested don’t buy anything until some sees what works.

Talon did it’s first tow today. Daughters car broke down so we went to get it. She was driving Talon and thought it funny to take me around the field. Everyone knows I follow the owners manual so I hope an Xterra is within towing capacity, don’t want to do anything that’s not expressed to be ok by corporate.

Looks like a new windshield is in order also....

Ya needs a couple things. Poor rig has had a hard 15 years with the family. Been good truck, I think it’s just distributor.
