I have the a-pillar, but I thought about using the pod for the little cubby hole below the a/c. They also have a pod that mounts on the dash in front of the steering wheel, but I don't like that one because it looks like a hot spot for gauges.

If you have the manual transfer case, then get the two pod with grab handle from Shane (Luvnacumns) here on DTR and put the 3rd gauge in the cubby hole near the steering wheel!

I have had the A-pillar and the dash pod. Currently have the dash pod. I like the dash pod for reasons like this:

You can watch all the gauges easier...and really easy when you film the gauges! I'm looking for something new as well. I like to change stuff up once a month or so

Not sure if he's still making them or what?

It wasn't really too bad putting it in the cubby. Now that I've done it once it wouldn't take near as long.

keep the stock A pillar with handle. XLR8R has a nice aluminum piece on his. he might be able to help you find one. I am going to go that route with mine. 3 guages and still have the handle.

Shanes set up is killer too! He did a great job.

how did you do that with you gauge pod .. i have the same set up you do and wanted to move the heater controls down to the lower cubby hole.. but it wouldn't work ... you must have done some fab work ...

Yes you have to trim out the bottom hole to make the A/C control module fit. Then a little on the fly engineering to secure it. Not really hard, but you have to be willing to hack it up and live with the results. Mine came out fine. I got a little carried away with the dremel, but you can't really tell. If I had started before the first six pack was dead probably would have been better.
