gauge location
is there any way to mount extra gauges in the dashboard, instead of ON the dashboard or along the A-pillar? I don't care if the gauges are small.

check this out for my gauge placement, and you can still return to factory if you wish.

Yeah Nick, they look real nice just there. Did you put those in or did Brandon do it before you got that truck? Real clean job, and good speed too!

There is a divider bar between where the 4wd indicator and the info center would be. I just cut it off and filed it smooth.

Ask and ye shall receive.

I used the stock screw locations with a 1/4" washer and a spacer made from a cheapie pen like you get from businesses and such (mine was a carquest pen if you care to know)
