I will probably go out tonight and take another pic with the camera at my eye level rather than just pointing and clicking like I did last night so you have a better idea of where they actually are. If you want me to that is, otherwise I won't waste my time lol.

yea take a pic as I was thinking on mounting a pillar pod but I always thought it was not that easy to see at a glance.

i went ahead and ordered the ebay one, i guess ill find out if they work well enough. I could always modify it if i had to so im not out of the extra money. now with 3 holes, and only one gauge, i need to round up the funds for my other gauges lol

Just outta curiosity what is your guy's preference on accessory gauges, I have a vlotage gauge (numbered versus the stock setup for more accurate readings with the winch, offroad lights and such on) trans temp gauge is my next one, and i cant think of what i want for the other slot. Was thinking of a water temp gauge as it would be more accurate and more defined readings, but im still open for it.

Anyone have any recommendations for my final gauge?

well i got my 3 gauge pod the other day, sure enough it arrived broke... atleast the ebay seller issued a full refund, no questions asked... i didnt even have to return it, just email him pictures of the damage... Thankfully there is still some good honest people out there...

but turns out the dimensions listed were wrong, so it wont fit as a 3 pod, since its just cracked by the lowest pod im going to cut off a pod so i can use it =)

mock up shows the gauges will be easy to read, as well as doesnt block much of my line of sight...

so when it warms back up a little here im going to get going on the install and might even mold it to the pillar with some fiberglass, who knows depends how ambitious i get...
