Tugly, btw awesome way to clean your truck out. Don't try that with a 2 stroke blower unless you want to get into the truck and have it smell like gas. Ask me how I know lol.
So back to my original question, how do you like that under dash gauge mount? Who makes them? If I were ever to add more gauges, thats where I would want them. Where did you end up running the wires? I would definitely like to see more pics of it if you have any. Impossible to find any pics on the internet of that gauge mount.

I can't stress enough how much I like mine. It's not in my face at night, inhibiting my night vision. It's far enough for me to read it - I have old-fart eyes. The alarms are set so the red LED does catch my attention when I'm exceeding a limit. It was crazy easy to install - much easier than an A-pillar I fought with until I dumped it and went with this. I drilled a big hole in my dash for the wiring and covered the hole with this assembly. The wires were plenty long enough with my ISSPRO EV2 gauge kit, and I still have service loops.
As for the big blow - mine is an uber-powerful electric, and I agree 2-stroke fumes blow in a whole different way.

Besides the GPS mount, the aux fuel switch and a SGII, this is the only real thing that stands out
PaysonPSD, I had a 99 v-10 and I wish my 02 had the same back seat option of folding down. That is much better than what the 02 has.

I wish I had the time and fab skills to pull that one off. I ordered that piece from Jotto Desk. They stopped making this model as the truck year is just too old anymore but there are other companies that make a similar item.

It certainly looks well made and was a good choice.

I'd show you mine, but it's kinda hard to take pic from Afcrapistan... I used to just have my DP tuner velcro'ed to the dash under the rightside of the steering wheel, but got tired of it coming loose and killing the engine, so I said the hell with it and just cut a hole in the dash next to the 4x4 switch. It fis perfect and it's "out of view" enough so it isn't obvious. Not that the gauges aren't a give away at it's potential.
I really wish there was a way I could fold down the rear bench seat, as when I transport cars and have to sleep in the back seat at a truck stop it's not very comfortable at all- at least if I could fold it down I could put a small mattress on it and the night at Loves or Flying J would be a lot better. Any advice on that guys?

I took out my back seat about 11yrs ago and put a platform on the seat brackets. Put 4in. foam and some nice cloth and its great to sleep on. Spent 1 snow storm and 1 ice storm back there. Back seat has never been sat on. Its wraped in plastic and stored on a shelf in my shop.
