installed it using one pillar from http://www.truckpillars.com/index.html and autometer gauges from jegs.

i decided to put the sender before the radiator and the additional cooler in the rubber line. so i made this out of brass fittings. notive the grounding wire placed underneath the neck of the sender.



then cut and positioned the assembly in the rubber line.



then drilled a hole and grounded it to the frame and ran the sender wire up to the pillar.



then installed all 3 gaudes. i have a mini tach(no tach in cluster, tranny temp, and volts(for when i install subs) i also have a fuel pressure gauge under the hood.



feel free to ask any questions and comment

 

I was just looking at those gauge pods myself, does the pillar pod fit as well as the stock pillar trim ?.

 

Yes, mostly. You won't notice it. I've had mine on for years and find it very useful!

 

its close the benefits definetly outweigh the misfit but it looks awesome and i personally am really glad i did it

 

what's the big ugly thing in front of your Yota? lmao

 

haha thts my buddys f250 on 35's lmao!

 

Which pillar did u get. I'm wanting to do gauges but can't find the right pillar pod

how does it mount ,screws or 2 sided tape ?

 

2 screws tht u must drill

 

I found one downfall to this kit, when I installed mine yesterday the sunvisor hits it!!! lol. Other than that it's a great product, great fit and finish.

 

I looked at the website posted for the gauge pods and they only sell pods for 1st and 2nd generation 4runners....If anyone is interested in doing this mod for a 3rd or 4th generation 4runner you can find the gauge pods here:

Another thing to consider is that this website offers the pods in different colors (black, factory oak, and factory gray) which is I think is pretty cool....It is my understanding that the "factory" colors are not an exact match but are pretty close.

I just ordered my gauges (from Jegs) and pod (from the website above) a couple days ago and I plan on getting everything installed as soon as I receive everything. I will post pics when I'm done.

 

question.......my cousin is wiring up a similar setup...he wants to put water temp and 2 others.....hes not sure where the water temp line goes....? any suggestions are greatly app.

 

I got my tripple gauge pod for the pillar from glowshift. Pics are going up on my build thread later this evening.

 

I know I'm like 3 yrs late on this, but where can I find good 2-1/16th gauges for it? Im looking for a digital fuel level

 

for a digital fuel level gauge, you need a digital signal sender from the tank. Make sure whatever gauge you purchase comes as a complete set, or you will have a heck of a time making things work together.
Let us know here if you find it, it's interesting.
