Default Pillar Pod almost finished.

Ok so heres almost the finished product. I have trans temp and oil pressure. The trinity was suppose to go on the top hole but didnt fit so i used the windshield mount. The trinity doesnt read my trans temp or my oil pressure so i chose those guages for that reason. I havnt had time to wire the gauges yet tho. Hopefully i will get a chance soon.

also want to thank nacho for showing me where to get this pillar pod.

It sucks that the a pillar goes all the way back. This just pops over with some 3m tape?

yes. it pops over the stock one. there are 2 screws between the gauges that hold it on. i still have to put 3m double sided tape along the door edge.

Default more detailed pictures

Heres you guys some more detailed pictures. I will probably end up cutting about a 1/4 inch to 1/2 off the edge where the door closes.











If anyone needs anymore let me know.

I have mine set up using both because the engine light came on when i disconnected the stock one. It could probably get tuned out?? i dunno? but the engine does check for it. If you want pics and the parts i used i think i have it written down.

Its not my diagram and instead of using a 3/8" female/ 1/4 male then to a 1/4 female/1/8" male i used a 3/8" female to a 1/8 male adapter and one long 1/8" male to 1/8" male union. use some kind of pipe sealent too (not the tape) becuase i had leaks at first.

If the Trinity would've mounted on the first mount, then it proly would have been in your line of sight. Safety first

I told you I trimmed mine about 1/4 inch where it comes to meet the door. I used a cut off wheel and some masking tape and it worked out. Gets rid of that wavy fit towards the bottom of the gauges too.
