Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just wondering where have people put after market gauges in there 80 series eg, volts, water temp, battery volt i was thinking about just screwing them to the dash but seems a bit wild thanks

thanks mate thats what i was thinking of doin what have you got the gauges sitting on?

mate i bought the 3 gauge holder and then sat that on some 3mm ally and cut it to the size of the base. drilled and tapped mounting holes and then mounted the dash mat in between the ally plate and gauge holder. didn t like the idea of screwing it to the dash.

Mine are on the A-Pillar

thanks they both look good pillar gauges might be the go..

A-pillar for me too...

x3 for pillar.

pillar it is they look neat there thanks !

keep in mind as well that it is illegal to mount anything in the impact zone so dash and pillars. I realise most people in here wouldn't care as their trucks are probably more illegal than wherever they decide to put guages but its worth a mention. On my old ea falcon i had one mounted on a pillar and used to get pulled over heaps but never mentioned the guage placement usually mentioning the bald tyres and big backend damage.

As long as it looks neat they usually dont worry

yeah maybe incorporate a switch for the gauge lights when you have the headlights on. I know sometimes turning right with the lights on its hard to see around the corner. Am going to put a switch on mine so when im in narrow streets i can turn the gauge lights off, also make them a bit more hidden when you get pulled up. or RBT'd

yer a switch would be good idea lights might get annoying .. thanks
