A VERY unconventional dash mod. (In-dash binoculars)

  • HTML tutorial
Well, my XJ has a clock panel that doesn't serve much of a purpose. It doesn't always work, and it's very dim so I never even look at it. My radio has a clock anyways. I was organizing my Plano boxes in the back of my rig and grabbed my binoculars. I typically like having binoculars while I'm out, I find it fun to scout the mountains and observe nature while backpacking. I brought them up front, spotted the clock panel and thought, "Surely they won't fit." I stuck them up there and the rubber on the eyepieces provides tension and holds them securely in place. It just happens to be a perfect fit. I think it looks kinda cool! Passengers might think I'm crazy but I think I'll leave them there for now. [emoji16]
