The instrument panel has just started acting weird. When driving down the road the instrument gauges goes completely dead, no fuel, alternator, RPM, speedometer, nothing. It lasts like this for maybe a few miles and then it goes back to normal like nothing was ever wrong. Has anyone experienced this before?

Temporarily ground it with an extra wire and see if that solves your problem. If that does, then find and fix the OEM ground. 1977 CJ-7, fiberglass body, AMC 360 w/ headers, DUI ignition, Edelbrock intake and Holley 4150 carb, TF999, Dana 300, 4.56 gears lockers, York air comp, 4" susp lift, 2" body lift, BFG 35" M-T tires, Megashifter, AGR pump & box, REP8000 winch.
