Aftermarket gauge cluster

Lotek makes a gauge pod for the a pillar. I have one for my boost and afr gauges. The color didn't match up very well to the handle, and I had to cut the mounting holes to make it actually fit. Not the best solution, but better than nothing. There are also the cravenspeed flexpods that mount to the steering wheel. I bought my gauges from speedhut, very nice quality products but can be pricey.

I used Autometer's mounting cups to hold the gauges. Since the a-pillar cover is curved, I mounted the cups to an aluminum plate, which I then mounted to the pillar cover. It is kind of industrial looking.

 

The Lotek gauge pod does not fit the 2015. I actually bought one to try, thinking I could modify it to fit. However, it just didn't want to fit. So, I made my own mount.

 

I have heard people say they make them fit somehow. I know it says it only fits 05-09, and I have a 2010. Maybe something changed and thats why I had to ream out the mounting holes, dont know. Either way, I made mine work for what I needed. It doesnt look the best but I'm ok with it.

 

Took me a while to remember the name.

They will even do custom gauges. Imagine that.

 

Sounds like you need a 3rd gen.

 

It didn't fit on my truck at the grab handle. I originally thought I could modify the piece, but once I put it in place, I didn't see a reasonable way to make it fit.

I actually thought about cutting off the gauge mount part and surface mounting that to the existing cover. Maybe someday, if I get tired of looking at the one I built.

 

That's actually a real good idea. then just paint the whole thing with some medium grey colorcoat and have a nice fitting gauge pod.

 

Here is my gauge setup on my truck

 

a pillar airbags is why its not a good idea to have gauge cluster on the a pillar. and why the Lotek "doesnt" fit newer vehicles

 

Makes sense.
