IC-7000. It's not bad at all, but I'm used to it. Looks like you have a lot more stuff going on with multiple radios than I do... 
Had an IC-706 (which I still have), then a 706 MKIIG (which I sold to partially finance the 7000). VERY nice radio -- I've had it since around Thanksgiving 2006.

I'm getting ready to finally build my custom over-the-dash, straight ahead line-of-sight gauge pod... ordered my Performax gauges from Clay on Friday!! I'll post up once the pod is done and in.

I have 4 on the pillar and I am happy with it. I don't understand why people complain about the light in the eyes when you can just switch them off down at the dimmer switch.
Thats what I do with mine when I need to focus in a snow storm, rain or any other hairy situation.

Me too... I've been toying with this idea for two years now, and I finally decided to bite the bullet on the gauges and let that investment push me into getting it done!

I have Banks Dynafact gauges and I HATE THEM
they are boring(not really eye cathching) and have been iffy on working properly(just the trans temp and engine oil temp faulty) I am Seriously looking at replacing them with ISSPRO's or DIPRICOLS

Well since this was broght back to the top, I'll let yall know I purchased the 3 guage pillar from Dennis at ITP Diesel. He was very helpful btw, but I'll be getting these in soon to relocate the one from under the dash. Thanks for all the photos guys, they were big help.
