I believe I saw a pillar mount for two gages one time, but not three. I'll be jiggered where in the world it was however. I'll have to chack through "my favorites" and get back to you if I find it.
Right now, the only recommendation is the Quad Commander A-Pillar Mount - you can have up to seven gauges and it does retain the handle.

So, how is life without a handle? Well, my 4WD has a Westin Platinum nerf bar. I step my right foot on it and step up, with a balancing hand on the steering wheel, and slide my hind end on into the seat. I do not pull myself up with my hand cause that is not what the steering wheel was designed for.
After a month or so, I don't miss the handle at all.

Nope, unless you make your own, and I dont think theres enough room with the handle... It would be a pain to mold all together and still have it look decent. I really wish there was one out there, I replaced my handle with a 3 guage pillar and until I get the backordered RH steps, its a hassle getting in and out of the truck

i went with the 3 gauge pod that goes in the cubby-hole below the a/c controls.....worked out nicely and looks kinda cool! didnt want to draw anymore attention to the truck than they already get and with the gauges out in plan view of anyone that looks at it, I thought to many people would be tempted. just my opinions
but i have not seen a gauge pod the retains the handle on the pillar

When I went hunting for gauge mounts I chose the mount that goes above the rear view mirror. One of the reasons was I didn't want to loose the A-Pilar handle, the other reason was the location is more natural and didn't 'widen' the A-Pilar's blind spot. The mount above the rear view mirror didn't work out so now I have mine on the A-Pilar, with no handle and a bit wider blind spot.

I did they SRT pillar with a WestTach daul gage and I wouldn't have it any other way. A freind of mine did the steering column mount 2 seperate gauges it it works great the only thing he can't see is the gear selector. So you do both and have the best of both worlds.

Then, we got into some warm days here, up around 110 or so. The velcro "Super-stuck-on-the-glass" thingy (or whatever it is formally called) started to come off the glass. It would not restick. Geno's sent me another supply of velcro stuff and I tried it again; really, really clean glass, stick on the velcro stuff and wait a couple of days without the pod trying to pull it down, then mounted the pod.
All went well till a few warm days again, only to 104 or so this time. Anyway, the stickum failed. This time when I took it down I could see the black plastic of the pod was disfigured from the heat also. I asked Geno's if there was any better stickum and there wasn't, so they sent me an A-Pilar pod.
I have not seen better customer service from anybody. Geno's is the best.
Good luck on your's.
