Nice how-to David!

I saw that at the last SE/LTL show a few weeks back. Was thinking of getting it also, but my SAFC-II and TRD shift light sit in the small cubby abnove the steering wheel.

 

i'll post some after pics for ya when i get mine installed

 

 

nice.

 

this tech doesnt help much. as far as i know, all the wires dont connect to the steering colum. if anyone else installs gauges, please take pics and re-do this tech.

 

why is it in tC interior???

 

thats the xa interior

 

He meant why is this in the tC interior forum and not the xB xA Ice forum....
Not that that was a tC interior.

ok this is for the steering wheel but what about the pillar guage pods? also do the xB pillar pods fit the xA?
