What has died in your instrument cluster?

I'll start!

 

lol, not what I was expecting.
@Madjik_Man ....

 

I can't find the good pics of them, so this will have to do.

Bought the truck in 1999. 3 days later this dude finds his final resting place. Hasn't moved/budged since even after 200,000 miles which includes rough off road trips.




Flash forward to 2015 and this dude finds his way in there. He finally came to rest under the temp gauge. RIP

 

Mine has nothing to do with the gauge cluster but I have a dead mosquito inside the driver side housing of my retrofits that make them look real classy! LOL!!! Am I going to send them back for a mosquito inside the sealed housing? No.

 

I do not have any pics but I've got a little dead spider in mine, roughly the same spot as @chadd925's. Been there ever since I bought the truck. Also plenty of dust and dirt that has worked it's way in there, just haven't bothered to take all that crap apart just do get a bug and some dust out of there.
We must be special, guys. Cos them bugs chose our trucks to die in.

 

Rest In Pepperonies.

 

i have had a dead horse fly in mine since i bought it. its a good conversation starter as none of us can figure how something so large got in there in the first place...

 

There's a dead nat inside mine, was there the day I bought it a little over a year ago and has never moved or slid into a crack somewhere.

 

Friend at nissan dealer yrs ago was witness to a tech taking apart a dash and a brazillian rainbow boa came out alive.... I got to take it home.

 

Are you serious

 

absolutely sir...... it was about 3ft long and pretty skinny..... puppy dog tame. This was back in 1998 or so and in riverside where and when captive bred/raised reptiles were very hot.

 

Is this California we are talking about? I was born in Riverside in 1998.

 

yep.... I was a manager at a VERY popular store.

 

Not in my instrument cluster, but found webs underneath my accelerator one day.. Had to fog my entire cab to lure her out. Think it hitchhiked on my boots.

 

Big ol fly that tumbles around

 

I left a Banana in my truck for a couple days and forgot about it, my truck now has 2 or 3 fruit flies in the cluster, drives me crazy. My Volvo is a graveyard of dead bugs though. Couple spiders, a small moth, and a ladybug. All that from one tiny crack in the upper left hand side of the plastic. Found a garter snake skin under the passenger side carpet of my taco as well, never found the owner of said skin however.

 

I don't understand how people have snakes/snake skins in their car. Do you leave your windows wide open at night?

 

I'm so glad I live in an area that doesn't have those. I'm terrified of most spiders, those especially.

 

They're crafty bastards, doesn't take them long to get into places. I do a lot of driving in my grandparents field in the summer and it's infested with Garters. Leave the door open for a couple minutes and I'm sure they can find a way in quickly enough. Opened the hood on my 83 ranger that's parked up there and about 6 of the little guys slid down to the bottom of it. I don't mind em, always liked snakes anyway lol.

 

That's crazy. I'd shit my pants, that's for sure.
