Why an oil temp? I cant do much if my air fuel is off because its stock and cant adjust the mixture.

Its a 94 zj with obd0 so there arent any tuners out so i cant tune to adjust air fuel right? I would need an adjustable fuel regulator but the ecu would correct for the increase/decrease in fuel right?

I suggest oil temp, becuase offroad you move at slow speeds, with high loads. I suppsoe you can't really adjust a/f so a a/f guage would just be a warning if you were running really rich or lean. I was planning on doing an A/f in mine(1994 cheerokee) But I am kinda rethinking it now lol. I think the most important guage is the trans temp, your stock cluster does cover mostly every else.

Amp gauge would end up melting on the newer stuff. The alternator can normally put out over 100 amps and most gauges I seen might go to 30-60 amps. Trans temp would be a big plus with any wheeling you do.
