MaxTow Gauges

I installed these last weekend. I'm just curious what you guys think.

In the picture you can see the old pod. That thing was a huge pain to remove. The guy who installed it removed the dash and bolted it down and then ran it to the lights switch.... So all we could do was cut those wires and tape them off and shove them back into the dash.

I ran these three gauges to the fuse box with 2 add-a-circuits. They look great and function like they are suppose to. Wish I could have spent more money on the top of line from Riffraff....

The other picture is of the boost reader. I didn't take a picture of the previous location but we rigged it with a T plug with silicone in the other end. It looks cheap but it sure does work.

I wish I could have posted a couple other pics of the other reader locations but I would have had to get under the truck. Not so good weather today....

Hahaha alright man!

Yea, do you remember when I held the button down and the D3 showed up? Well all I needed to do was click that button down as it went through the brightness settings. I use daytime 1.

I have the MaxTows as well. I really like them. Easy install and easy to read. I put mine under the dash, though.
