Who has an A pillar gauge pod and what gauges did you put in? Could someone possibly do a good write up on it and stick it in the tech section?

 

Sorry this dosent help you, but i could do a write-up on putting the guages in the Chubby( the pocket under the climate controls). I havent done an a-pillar pod yet thou. I cant imagine it would be that hard to do. Good luck.

 

I have one I put a air fuel, water temp oil pressure and volts!! Let me get some pics it is sweet

 

.................Well.

 

I am in the middle of installing a a pillar gauge pod. Got the pod from scion sport , it has four spots for gauges. Also got the adapter for water temp, oil temp and oil press from scion sport . Got the gauges from ebay a company name bestuning. All four gauges with shipping were about 120.00. Gauges were all electric with 270 deg sweep and 7 color led lite.

 

I will take pic during installation and a review.

 

Cool brutha. I anxiously await your write up.

 

its not an A-pillar, but would this help ya?


or this?


just relocate your radio to the cubby and use your radio kit for the gauges. it sfairly easy to do.

 

Interesting but no.

 

check with newtmaker, hes done an a-pillar. its got pics under "gauges are finally installed" or something to that effect.

The pic is no longer there.

 

that tricksy devil! well, he did have the pics up and they looked good. maybe he can repost em with a howto? pm him and ask nicely.

 

i did the a-piller and i have a 4 guage pod from autometer... in the top spot i have a volt metert... next one down is the air tank pressure... next two are the single air strut pressure guages! if you didnt realize i have a bagged box... and it was a b**ch to put the guage pod up.... here is a pic!

pic is upside-down....

why was it a pain to install???

it is just held on with tape...the pain for me is the factory sunvisors do not clear the top gauge.

 

did you hook them upto the factory piller... or did you take that out???

and my driver's side sunvisor tv kisses it so bad!!!

 

i hooked it up to the factory pillar cover....

did you have problems with fitting all the wires by the dash?
or making the two stick together?

 

i took the piller out... more room for the air lines... and i didnt have any probs making them fit into the dash... it was just attaching the pod to the headliner which sucked!

 

yeah, if you don't tape it to the stock one, it kinda just falls down all the time....


only other option is to get another a-pillar cover and trim it out so the lines are easy to get through, but it still has the clips to secure it like factory....

 

i got the autometer gauge pod... and we didnt use the stock pillar... which i regret!

 

looks nice though i dont envy the trouble you had to go through.
