Default Guages in center console?

Does anyone make, or has anyone made a guage pod to go in the center console? Kind of in that wasted space/slot just above the cup holder area.


Maybe even in the slot between the cig lighter and accessory power outlet.

I made this awhile back. Not perfect and the camera made sure to show it. V1 hidden display above the gauges.

Looks good brandon, hows the visability? I'm thinking I can get up to 5 guages in that area (don't need that many unless I go Boosted ) but looking for ideas. Keep 'em coming

Visability would be perfect if the door was not in the way. I need to bring closer to the front and it would be much better. Oh, and a lot of cutting is required behind the gauges.

I'm doing that same thing with my a/f and fuel pres... except, I'm taking the door off the cubby hole and making a mounting plate out of some sheet aluminum... probably relocate my nitrous switches on there too...

These are made for diesel guys, but they work on any truck that does NOT have a sunroof, and they make a switchpanel for the sunroof-equipped trucks.

BMDMAX has one, and he wrote a great article about the installation and wiring.

This setup means a lot less eye travel and is safer IMO than a lower mount.
