Ortiz Custom Pods

Is anyone using a gauge pod from https://ortizcustompods.com/ford.html ? I ordered a 2015 2021 Ford F150 250 350 - Single Pod Driver Vent - OCPF-77 to house a Isspro factory match pyrometer. I wanted to keep the A pillar grab handle so I am going to see how well this works. I’ll post a picture of it once installed.

I haven't, but I sure have thought about it... It seems awfully expensive for what it is... but, it looks like a great option. I have seen a few others around different forums that use them... I will be interested in seeing your pictures when you get it. I would need one with the cut out for the spot light mirror buttons. I looked at "OCF-77" but confused about it... one of them shows a cut out for the buttons and the other doesn't... Also, what paint will you use to paint it?

I’m not sure yet. I’ll take the vent into a local paint shop that will color match & put it in a rattle can in attempt to match it as close as I can. As far as I could tell in the pictures the one I ordered has the cutout for the spot light buttons.

I thought the same about the price initially. It’s not much more for this compared to a single gauge auto meter pillar pod. Plus it’s made in America.

Cool. Well I will look forward to your photos and thoughts on it. I have the pod mounts from Banks and they suck. The suction cup on the first one broke so it has been held up with a round foam tape disk cut to size... but it's starting to come loose. They sent me another one since the first one broke but I haven't felt like putting it up since it's most likely just going to break too... so I am interested in this!

Here it is. I'm pleased with the mount. I didn't want to loose the grab handle with an A pillar pod. Later today I am going to find a different wire lume that will fit all 5 wires inside. It came painted & it's very close to the OEM color. I'm not going to repaint it.

That's pretty slick.

I should make something wireless to run gauges, wire routing really sucks.

Yeah right. Right after inventing wireless power.

Those are really nice looking, they don't look out of place at all. So, ridiculous question, but has anyone installed an analogue clock into one of these?

Very nice! That'd be perfect for my Banks iDash gauge, I'll have to look into this...

Just for kicks, did a little net search, and discovered this on fleaBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255322820108

That mount looks great, plus it compliments the dash by matching the headlight switch. Nice job.

That’s the same mount. Looks like a reseller.

Thank you. It also matches the speedometer & tachometer.

Pulled the trigger. Went with the option that replaces the vent rather than the cover that sits on top of it. Otherwise it looks basically identical. We'll see how it goes!

Good deal. I like mine a lot, so far so good. Have you figured out the wireless gauges yet? I’ll be your first customer when you do.

Lol! My head was just thinking about data when I first drafted that post, and about 20 seconds after submitting the.. fatal flaw in that idea hit me
