A- pillar gauge question

I am going to be mounting my gauges in a pillar pod, but I really like having the handle there. Is there any way to have both? I don't think there is but I figured I would throw it out there.

I don't believe you can keep your handle and have your gauge on the pillar. When you get the new pillar for your gauges. You will see that there is no room for the handle. How many gauges are you installing.

I'm going with the quad pod. I didn't think there was a way to keep it, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Yeah no possible way... The setup for mounting the quad pods to the A-Arm would bust as soon as you grab that handle lol..

If your wanting analog gauges no, there isn't a way to keep both unless your just doing one gauge(depending on what gauge pod you get as well, some pods still go all the way up the pillar even though it just handles one gauge others do not). If you do a obd-II monitor then you can keep both(dashhawk, quadzilla commander etc), however I would stick with analog gauges for various reasons.
