If you have a 2wd, most people remove the coin holder on the dash and put a 2-1/8" or 2-1/16" guage in its place.

If you are not using the ashtray, Moss motorsports has a replacement part for it that allows for two or three 2 1/16 guages to be place there and it matches the factor carbon in FX4, not sure about lariet but you can check them out.

I put one in the coin holder, but the power outlet on the other side is also the perfect size for a 2 1/16 gauge. There is a pic in my gallery.

Ct, Looked At Your Pics, Where You Have A Guage To The Left Of The Radio Is Where My 4x4 Selector Switch Is Located! Where Is The Switch In Yours?

Also Where Is This Coin Tray Y'all Are Speaking Of? The Only Coin Holder/Ash tray I Have Is In The Pull Out Drink Holder.

The coin holder used to be where the guage is now. My 4X4 selector 'switch' is a gear lever on the floor. My truck is just a plain old XL.
