    I wanted a discreet spot for my Ultraguage that wouldn't distract me while driving at night so I rigged it up in my forward sunglasses holder. What do yall think? (If anyone also decides to do this to their truck, I am not responsible for you messing it up.)

    First, I removed the sunglasses tray and cut a big gaudy hole in the bracket with a drill and a Gerber multi-tool to slip the wire through.

    Next, I removed the A pillar cover and wrapped the Ultraguage wire around the wire harness, being sure NOT to cover up the curtain airbag. From there I dropped the plug straight down to the OBD port.

    Then, I simply cut away the foam mat and used 3M mounting tape to mount the bracket and ta-da!

    Thanks for checking it out!

    Nice job, I like how clean and discreet your location turned out.
    I don't like that know I lost my reason not to get a gauge. Before I was saying to myself it would be another reason for somebody to break in.
