Triple guage dash pod

Has anyone seen one of these made for the 3rd gen 4Runner? I found one at Autometer for the Dodge Ram that might work:

Waht do you all think? I see the only problem being the curved 4Runner dash vs. the flat Dodge dash, but a heat gun could be used to mould the pod to conform. I want to put the volt, oil press., and tranny temp up there to clean up my A-pillar.

3.4,

Whats wrong w/ your a-pillar mount? i just bought one from gaugepods.com. while *slightly* impairing vision to the left side, nothing that will prevent safe operation.

i had a triple gauge pod from a for zx-2 that i got from a buddy. i molded that onto my stock pillar so i had to make a bunch of holes (screws, wires). i took the pod and guages out today so now im left with a stock pillar with 3 1-inch holes and a bunch of little holes from screws. any idea where to get a new one besides the dealer?

ask ranma21. or, you might be able to repair it w/ fiberglass and some putty but i dont think it would look seamless.

you could make that dash pod out of fiberglass. if you cant, find a stereo shop that does FG work. they should be able to with ease.
