Triple gauge pod!

Does anyone know where I can purchase a triple gauge pod for my 3rd gen 4runner? I've searched for the past 45 minutes on google and I can't find anything other then dual pods. I want to add a tranny temp gauge.

All well and good, but he clearly has a 3rd gen.

He said he was looking for a triple pod. Unless I'm mistaken, they only offer a dual for the third gen.

I think someone here hacked an Integra gauge pod into their 3rd gen. I am looking (unsuccessfully) for the thread...

Yes, the triple gauge Integra pod can be done. All you need is a heat gun or hair dryer to gently mold the plastic. If you decide to go the dual pod route and still need more gauge info you can always purchase a ScanGauge II.

Here is my install.

I've heard different things about the quality of the color match, mine turned out pretty nice. I would suggest ordering the color matched unit, then if you decide you can't live with it you can paint it yourself.

Sounds good. How was the fit/install?

The color match on mine was great, and it fits perfect. Thinking about trying the integra pod. How hard was it to mod?

Have you considered DIN mount gauges?

I have the same issue with my RX7, what people do is buy the dual pod, and add on a single pod as well.

Or you can go with the PLX single gauge that does the job of many gauges:
