guage on steering column
does anyone have a guage mounted on the steering column? does it block your visibility of any of your instuments on your dash? IE RPM's, speed? fuel level....?

I have one for my FP. Yes it blocks some of the idiot lights but not the speedo or tach. The WTS light is blocked and you have to move your head some. It's not a big deal though.

would you recomend putting a guague there? or a better question, if you had the choice to do it over again, would you put it in the same spot?

I have my fuel pressure guage there too. It kinda blocks the wait to start light and the 4x4 light but thats about it. I would put the guage there if you dont have a juice with attitude or an guage pack like that.

i also have FP there. i love it there, out of sight, easy to read and it doesn't block anything critical while moving.
i have found though it blocks the WTS and 4x4 lights though . . . nothing a simple lean or head nod won't fix though.
yes, i would put a gauge here again if i were to do it again.

I've seen gauges on the column and don't like the way it blocks the dash cluster at all.
Fuel pressure isn't a gauge you need to look at all the time, just install it down low on the dash ahead of the 4wd shifter.
