The engine fan switch is for the OEM fan. A friend used my design and added one to his Pentastar and says it works fine (3.6s have an extra fan wire). I have shared the wiring diagram on JKF, but if you can't find it, let me know and I'll dig it up from my desktop 'puter.
The oil pressure is engine oil. Added a sandwich plate between oil filter and block, which is doable on 3.8s, but not 3.6s with a cartridge filter. On them maybe a brass splitter/T-fitting could be used at oil pressure switch. VDO has a nice gauge that barely fits into sPOD controller (depth is very tight), and that matches OEM gauges nicely. Wiring was added for dash dimmer control of the backlighting for the gauge and switch toggles. 14Sport maintains a nice thread here on JKF that discusses all options for adding backlighting.

Awesome thanks for the information! Luckily for me I have the 3.8 so I'll dig up your posts and do a little more research.
Cheers!

Couple teaser pics from recent trip.
Grand Staircase-Escalante ...
Campsite in Abajo Mtns ...
An obstacle during descent to Monticello ...
Pretty fall colors in Henry Mtns.
I hope the Xterra doesn't upset anyone's sensibilities--three JKUs and one Xterra on this nine day adventure from Santa Fe, NM to Big Water, AZ. More pics and vids to come soon.

Photos from Wandering the Northwest this fall
The little Jeep and I have had some great journeys this fall, including travel from Washington state to Yellowstone and beyond. Here's a few photos from the fall:
It's been a good fall for me. Solo journey, but with friends & family along the way. Very nice. Enjoy your journey this fall!

So hopefully next summer I can convince her and if not, maybe rent a teardrop trailer and head out there.
