If anyone is running an aftermarket trans temp gauge and/or a boost gauge, I would like to see how you mounted and installed them. I thought a boost gauge would be a nice way to monitor engine load, etc. The tranny temp gauge is a must in my opinion.

I've installed tranny temp gauges in my old trucks but I'm not sure what's available for us Liberty folks.

I did some more searching and I still can't find a setup I really like. Has anyone tried using one of the windshield type mounts that goes above the rear view mirror? It doesn't look like our Liberty's have enough room when compared to the Dodge Ram.

I'd like to fit three gauges if possible - EGT, tranny temp, boost

that's what I did. I've had A Pillar gauges in my last 3 vehicles and love'em.

I used the Lotek 2 guage pillar pod. It has Autometer SportComp Blackface digital guages. They are not as bright as my cobalts in the powerstroke. I had the pyro run in the downpipe and the boost sender put into a pipe in the hose going from the turbo to the intercooler.

Here is what I did, bought the paint and painted the pod to match the interior of the Limited I have.

More time spent on mounting the pod, than the gauges, had to lose the handle, and modifying what was left.
