Default Where to run wiring for triple A-Pillar pods?

For those of you who have A-Pillar pods, where did you run your wiring? What do you need to take off so its a little easier?
I have a boost gauge that needs to be relocated there and also a fuel and oil temp gauge too. This seems like its going to be a PITA!!
All my gauges are electronic with the exception of the Boost gauge.
Thanks all.

i drilled a hole in the stock pillar behind the guage holes, theres enough room behind it to run them straight down and come out by the fuse block. once you get it apart you'll know what i'm talking about. the factory pillar just snaps off so you can get it out the truck to drill the holes and all. just remember, run all the wires and stuff through the factory pillar and reinstall it by itself. then put the guage pod in there. i tried to take my guage pod and factory pillar out still assembled and the guage hole would hit the dash before it would unclip so i'm almost positive you can't get them in there together without scratching them all up.

Thanks allot for the reply.
I just needed some direction on this one to feel comfortable about ripping into my truck. I guess its time to start popping parts off and give it a try.

MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND IS PROPERLY GROUNDED!!!! I fought mine for days before getting an ohm meter and finding out the damn thing wasnt grounded.
