Does anyone have any pictures of where they have their aftermarket gauges mounted? Im going to be getting an aeroforce interceptor in the next couple weeks and im just trying to get some ideas on where to mount it. Its going in my SSS so I have the center console and I would prefer to mount it some how in the top cubby in the center console, but Im open to other options too Im just looking to see what everyone else has for a sweet gauge set up!
check out socalcustoms for the pod in the overhead or there is always autometer a piller pods
its socal diesel...Quote:

Hell of a CD holder Luke :lol:
Ya I was looking at the socal diesel ones and I like them the only thing is im only running one aeroforce intereptor right now so Id have an open hole. And the other thing is they are wicked expensive. Although I was contemplating making my own single gauge pod to go up there since I have access to a full machine shop right on the other side of the wall at my work and theres always tons of scrap aluminum and different plastics so I could pretty easily make my own pod for up there the only other thing I was wondering about that is how much of a pain is it to run wires up to the over head console? And how does the console it self come out of the head liner and does the A pillar just pop off??
its easy, the only thing that holds the console up there is a screw and then you pull straight down but not to hard or u will rip the light wiring out of it, then you will see a little pocket thingy between the headliner and roof, strighten out a coat hanger and run it through that to the driver door side then tape the wires to that and pull back through.Quote:

Awesome that looks alot easier than I thought. Now the aeroforce interceptor plugs in to the OBDII port im assuming I have to run the wire from the OBDII up the A pillar and up into the headliner and over to the console right? I read somewhere that the pillar it self just pulls off correct? And any idea if its going to be a pain to get the wire from the OBDII up into the pillar to run it up to the headliner?
yes, yes, and just be carefule runnig the plug
Pulling the A-pillar is cake. No problem at all. Just use Luke's coathanger method and you should be good to go.Quote:

I wish I had my old phone. I could show you one almost as bad. I got mine right after Mitch and I took a piece of 3M double stick and stuck it on top of my steering column. It actually stuck to the guage bezel so it didn't look like ass.Quote:

I always liked this but not sure if they are still making them or not.
Nothing fancy...simple 2 gauge pillar... wish I would have gone with the 3 though
