Default gauge pod (pics of final install)

i was bored today so i removed my console bezel trim removed the storage pocket and installed a plate and cut holes in it for my gauges .. i also took 2" pvc pipe and miter sawed a couple of angles so i could tilt them towards me i think it looks awesome nparts1/CONSOLE3.jpg[/IMG]

I'll give you a little love since I'm right up the street from you. I like the pvc. It gives it that extra look. Very nicely done. What gauges are they? Wire them up yet? More pic please.

ahh, nice. i'm actually in a similar process with my comanche,(full motor/trans/tcase swap and full harness update from my old 95xj) gonna be running a second stand-alone battery and alt. system to power my winch, lights, CB and etc... and i plan on running a 2nd volt meter as the draw for the 2nd alt.... but ya think you could email some more pics of them mounted in the trim piece.. maybe a pic of the backside too
