Default Post pics of your pillar pods

I've been looking around for a triple pillar pod, one that replaces the entire A-pillar. Just want to see if anyone has any pics of their own.
Thanks guys

Only a few sponsors have them. Tbyrne has a triple pillar pod, I don't know what brand it is, for $70.
Speed Eng. and Thunder have duals for $30.
Jeg's has the triple for $60 made by Autometer, but I want to see a picture of the one for our trucks.

NICE! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Would you happen to know where he got it from?

i just got one at the dealer and it was prety cheap, like $20 or so.

i have the tripple gauge pod but took it out. the gauges are too close to your face to really look at so i never looked at them. i am going to put a conector on the wireing to i can re install it when i want to do some tuning and then take it back out easy.

Too close to your face??? How far do the damn gauges stick out?
Here's a picture of one in a Dodge, do the gauges stick out more on yours parish?

Hey Chingon,
I bought my 3-gauge pillar pod & gauges from truckperformance.com & they are all autometer. When I bought it I was hoping to replace the hole pillar but it ended up being a molded plastic pod that piggy backs the pillar & is held on with plastic push pins. It is a little cheesy but doesn't look to bad.

Oh, the gauges do stick out a little bit. I can tell you this because I have bumped my head on them more than a couple of times. If you want a feel for how far they stick out you can pull down your sunvisor so that it is pointing straight down & the bottom left corner would be hitting the top gauge pod if you had one.

Ok, well then Parish must have a different one that sticks out farther, because when I put the sunvisor down it isn't right in my face.
Thanks for the info though. I actually want to replace the whole pillar too, I don't want to stick the gauge pods to my existing pillar.
