Well, at 19 mpg on a 27 gallon tank, I bet I will catch you sooner or later

 

mounted my rancho gauges like that works great

 

Yup ... I'm short about 7 miles to the gallon on a good day, highway driving at 70.

 

I bought one of those plates from a guy on another site for 30 bucks shipped to my door, it doesn't have the holes in it yet, but i like it better that way, so i can mount what i want where i want.......................hold the phones fella's i founf the site where you guys can order the blank ones for $45......................Uh, i'm not sure about the whole non sponsor advertising though, maybe since the directors want these, they can tell me if it ok to post the info up here.

 

i dont think it is just a plate. it has the holes for the guages at an angle so you can see them better.

 

he mostly makes those gauge clusters for diesel guys. im not sure about you guys but putting something it my 40k+ truck im gonna make sure its not a peice of junk which 99% of the parts are out there. plus his customer service is by far the best. his stuff is alot of cash but trust me, Its top notch.

 

those are much better pic's, definately nice stuff.

 

 

The piece i have is just a plate, but is still top quality, cnc'd out of billet, the only thing, is that the plate is flat, but for over a hundy difference, i can deal with the guages not angled perfectly at me, and like someone said above, autometer makes the mounts to angle the guages.

The one in the pic is for there attitude monitor, but they offer the blank ones also.

 

That, and now that i have the actual plate, i could have someone make a thicker one cnc'd up, with the angled mounts cut out already, if i was dead set on having the guages face me. But for guys who are just mounting switches and such, 45 bucks is a smokin deal for a pre made plate that fits right, no fab work or time to invest.


But the one there is sweet looking, i would rather have it brushed looking, or painted to match thetruck/interior maybe? 100 times better than pillar guages, i had a pillar on my Z28, and it worked, but the clean mounted look like the above is so much better.
