First, upload the pics to a site like photobucket, then copy the url (address) and post it with the [img] tags, like this:

Code:

[img]paste url here[/img]

Thanks.

Actually if you use photobucket there is an option to automatically generate the tags with the url, they'll show under the thumbnail on the photobucket page. Just left-click on the box with the url in it and a little box will pop up saying 'copied', then paste it into your post. Nice and easy

This is the second try the pics were way to big before.It is raw aluminum now. It will be painted silver to match the trim.And final install.Will be when I can get some gauges. Unless someone wants to donate some to the cause>

pics so small. And why did you choose there may i ask? and not up in the a pillar? just take off that handle and place them there.

I dont know, may change my mind after i see the final product, to me it looks out of place but we will see once its all done. Cool so see someone do something different

Looks good Crash. I like the customization. In your sig. you say 5" hole out the back, got any pics of that?

Everyone puts gauges on the pillar i dont really like them in my face like that ,Everything I have drove with them on the pillar causes a blindspot.

Ya jeepman I have some pics they are dark though , Ill take some more today and put them on.

Oh ya and the pics are small cause they are the first i have put on here and did not know what size to use.

Wow...those look great. For the CRD owners we could mount a BOOST, EGT and TRANNY TEMP guages. I think it is a great alternative to the pillar mounted style (Not mine):

Was that the guy that had the crazy carputer setup? I didn't care much for the color scheme, but otherwise a really nicely laid out rig

Well i tried silver bad color too much glare on the windshield. So they are now a textured grey perfect.
Here is a blurry pic of the night view

I absolutely love the gauges and they help alot.

Nice looking for sure. Like the way they look mounted there. :wink:

agree on the pillar mount too much of a blind spot

It look great, especially the way you finished them. Combined with the way you plumed the wires into the dash, plus the sequencial placement of the Pod give it a clean and neat . It screams after market, but not home made. It has all the polish that you would swear one of the popular automotive gauge manufacturers created. I would hazard to bet that you go to one of the group runs, somebody is going to see them and say "Sweet Looking Gauge Set Up Dude ! Who make them and where can I get some". And no matter how many time you tell them they will say "No Way who makes them", at which point in time you can be just as creative and make some wild story that you can talk about them this is a proto-type for the goverment hush hush top priority, Experimental Killer Jeep to protect the Shopping Malls. :lol:

That would rock

This looks really nice and clean. Where did the pod come from? Did you fabricate it?

dog_party · **Posted:** Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:21 am

Those are nice. Who made it? Where can I get one? :lol:

Kidding. It's beautiful work Crash. I agree completely that the KJs A-pillar is not a good place for guages. It's too close to the driver's face. There are some vehicles that A-pillar guages work well in; stuff with steeply raked windshields/A-pillars, but the KJ is not one of those. I really like your solution.

And the wiring might have been a pain, but take solace in the fact that it looks BEAUTIFUL!!

Very nice!!! Very custom!! I like it. I'm giving the a-pillar mount a try as soon as it gets here.

dkcase · **Posted:** Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:07 pm

I see your location.

Obviously, you fabricated this on your job at the Army Depot on taxpayer time.

So we don't turn you in to the whistle-blowers, just send each of us one. :lol:

Seriously, It looks great. (Is that Army depot even still in business ? Still killing sheep ? )
