i have no personal preference, my 92 XJ with a manual 5-spd had the tach on the left so i was used to it there...but i hadnt even noticed the new position in our '05 KJ until someone pointed it out

if anyone has a theory (or conspiracy theory) on WHY this change was made enlighten us huh?

thats wierd on why they changed it..even on the 05 infiniti's...
