Finally got my gauges in

I finally got my gauges installed . I will be sending a picture to Big Ugly or JP, depending on who is doing the updates on the site. The gauges are listed below, from top to bottom, installed in a home modified 4 gauge pillar.

Engine coolant temp. / Trans. temp.
Boost / EGT
Engine oil psi
Fuel psi with 2 sensors ( one before and one after the fuel filter) and an on/on switch to change between them.

I typically 'scan' my gauges, mirrors, and occasionally the road.

Nice job, Ive heard mixed reviews about the Westach guages, can you tell me where you got yours, what made you choose that brand over another?

I also like your custom 4th pod...good work!

Firestorm - you are cleared for takeoff on runway 7-L

Good looking install job. Got any pics of them at dusk or at night with the lights on?

You need a bigger a-pillar for all those guages...

I guessing your going to add more to it...

NICE!

I went with Westach by a friends reccomendations, price, and the combo gauge options. The gauges and the 3 gauge pillar are from Genos, and the 4th mount (top) is from JC Whitney. I trimmed and played with the single mount untill I got it to fit and look decent. The 3 gauge is held on with a single screw, to the frame of the pillar. The single is held to the 3-mount, by 3 trim screws that have been painted to match. I think this is all I will need to run a box(es)
BBWD, No I don't have pics at night yet, but I will get them. Besides, now I don't have to worry about anybody (including wife and little brother) wanting to borrow my truck.
LITTLE BROTHER: Baron, can I use your truck?

BIG BROTHER: Sure, but first let me show you a couple of things. Don't let the fuel psi drop below 10. Don't let the oil psi drop below 40, or let the boost exceed 30psi, or run the EGT's

LITTLE BROTHER interupts : Never mind, will you pick up a big screen TV for us and take it to our house?
