gauges, finally

I finally installed my gauges & pod. 1) I highly recommend buying them installed & wired into the pod, what a PITA! 2) My pod does not clip into the factory slots and it looks like I'll have to drill into the pod/A piller and use the supplied plastic pin clips. I'm so happy to have them in, especially when I tow my trailer.

All pods have to be pinned to the factory pod... You will need to drill three holes in the factory pod to run the wire thru as well.

You cant say all pods have to be pinned in. I have a full new pillar in my rig.

Your right, 99% of the pods out there pin to the factory pod... There are companys that are getting close to having a special one... Hope to be testing is shortly!!!
