KJ Gauge Panels: This durable and attractive gauge panel installs in place of any of the dashboard air vents in any KJ using existing vent pod mounting points. The panel features built-in vents which let heat and air conditioning flow around the gauge. It is a nice alternative to the typical pillar-pod style gauge mount which requires you to remove the driver's side grab-bar (useful for getting in and out of lifted vehicles). - Fits Any 2 1/16" Gauge - Retains HVAC Functionality - Retains Factory Grab-Handle - Easy Installation, Access to Wiring - Black Powdercoat Finish - Paintable to Match Interior - Factory Appearance - No Dash Modification Needed How to Pre-Order: This is going to work similarly to what I did with the Intake Elbows. I need to pre-sell 5 gauge panels to begin production. Once 5 units have sold, production will begin. You will be notified by e-mail when production begins and again when your order ships, with a USPS Priority Mail tracking number. Pricing: Single: $50 Pair: $90 (Save $10) Three: $130 (Save $20) Order Tracking: Batch 1: (shipped)
Batch 2: (taking orders)

It's a two-piece design consisting of a mounting bracket and a facing. If there is enough interest I will start things off with a group buy and see where it goes. ![]() ![]() This durable and attractive gauge panel installs in place of any of the dashboard air vents in your KJ using existing vent pod mounting points.

Not sure if anyone knows of a paint color that matched that I could use instead. |

Seth, I'd get one, but not more, I'd ran out of vents, lol. It is ideal for mounting a 3 in one gauge in it. I wonder how hard is to design a 3-5 gauge pod to install nicely on the dashboard... Can you work with plastic? I think making it from aluminum would be even better, but I'd guess would be more expensive for "general public" to buy... |

I think a three gauge pod for the "A" pillar would be a big seller as no one has one available for our Jeep Liberty's.... I would love to have one!!!! gaugepods.com only offers a two gauge pod. |

Pretty neat. I came across the one Rousch makes for mustangs a while back and thought it was a great idea. I can't stand a-pillar mounts, so that seemed like the best option for these beasts. I actually want a boost/EGT unit, and the only one I really like is the ISSPRO 609 which at 3" just should fit. Your option is nice in that it keeps AC functioning, a 3" will block the whole vent. However, I have been driving for about a year with the driver side center vent totally blocked off and don't miss it. However, if you did it, I would consider separate 2" gauges, one on each side of the dash cluster. |

Both set ups look really good. I like the 3 gauge pod only because that is what my dodge cummins has. I would be interested in either....... |

Seth, btw, too have a glowshift gauge on the left hand mount? Just curious, I ordered one few days ago and I'm trying to picture how it looks in your pod. |

Sure, it was meant as a compliment, the world is crazy for iphones, lol. Just placed an order for 2 units. Even though I said I only need one... but more gauges is better. |

Seth, I'm thinking it may be a good idea to link this post in general forum, this product is not restricted only to crd. |
