Gauge location ideas

I've seen a couple similar posts, but I'm looking for some ideas...

I have a gauge to mount and I'm not sure where to put it. I don't want to buy an A-pillar pod or those expensive steering wheel mounts. It's just a voltage gauge so I don't need to monitor it at all times. Does anyone have ideas or experiences where to mount the gauge and/or where to put a hand made mounting plate where the gauge and some switches can be placed.

FYI: It's a 4x4 so I can't use the space where the 4x4 switch is. It's also a manual so I don't have that little cubby on the right, that's where my e-brake is...but there still might be some room to fit a gauge.

Thanks for the ideas...pics appreciated!

 

ready.....bump

 

Still a possibility, but then I have to paint it (tan interior) and I don't really have a second gauge to mount...so its not really worth it to me.

 

anyone else?....bump

Voltage gauge mount ideas? And you have no other gauges to mount?

Go here. There's lots of places it can mount and look good.

 

I'm not really a fan of a-pillar gauge holders...this is what I've done...

a little sneak peak...don't want to make you guys too jealous and start to whack off...ROFL...

I thought about designing a digital one myself, but I like the look of dial gauges. I have a voltage gauge already in hand and don't want or need to buy any others.

Was this DIY or is there a DIN gauge mount that fits the tacoma? I'm probably upgrading the stereo soon so this might be an option for me.

 

I would honestly like someone to make a gauge mount where the little plastic triangle is above the door panel, the little panel you have to remove to remove the side mirrors:



A 52mm gauge would be easy to mount there. On xr-underground I saw an X-Runner with a gauge mounted there, its the only tacoma I've seen with a gauge there. I wish I could find the pic.

To bad I don't have any fiberglass skills
