Put the Jeep in storage for a little bit and got the plow out.

After getting the plow mounted up (which was a pain in the **** with the new lift and tires), I got to work on the stereo install. Need to finish putting the interior back together tomorrow but so far so good. I also ran a power wire out to the rear seat area so I can hard wire a light up top.

Starting ripping out the interior to run all the wires:

How do you like the a piller guage pod you have? I need to get one but not sure what to get. Radio looks awesome. I'm too poor for one like that lol. I like that mp3 hook up as well. Mine plugs into the front of the head unit and I've lost one of them damn wires already.

Love the guages right there, very easy to read while driving. I just wish there was room for one more guage so I could add a fuel pressure guage.

You could always buy a new pod with the 3 holes and sell me the old one cheap lol. I'll admit I'm one of the people that in certain turns has trouble seeing around the A post. Do you find it any harder to see with them there? That's one thing that has me worried.

This one already has 3, I need a four or I need to figure out another place for a gauge...

I know the stock A pillar can cause a major blind spot around turns, my solution is on turns like that I just over the center console to get a better view.


Here's another picture of them:
