    Well after many minutes of thought on where to put a boost guage I came up with this.
    I really liked the 4x4 selector location problem is I kinda need that switch. So I was at the toyota dealership waiting for my oil change and sat in a 4 runner. Low and behold the selector switch looked neat. I immediately ordered one.
    And this is how it ended up

    I was hoping It was lit, but it's not haha.
    Almost plug and play just had to swap 2 wires around.

    I dig it...almost like a functional iDrive button.

    What's the diameter of the boost gauge you can stuff in the selector hole, 52mm or 60mm?

    Which direction you going for a gauge...a filler plate to put in a 52mm or cutting the dash for a 60mm.

    I really like the look of speedhut gauges but having a wide band and boost is cool too! Decisions decisions!

    So I received my speed hut Guage. I like it but I am not sure of the silver bezel I should have got black. And I don't know what i am going to do about the gap all round yet.3eeb1fad83f9c40d6abb4aef62dcbb26_23570f1803e25a3940634ef5a61f5d4a9cff928a.jpg

    Maybe take apart the bezel and see if you can flared it out a little. Just a thought.
