Hi folks,
Just pondering, has anyone managed to install gauges such as boost, oil temp etc. into their truck and achieve a fairly OEM look?
I'm looking to put some gauges into my '93 3.1 bighorn but apart form having a free standing pod on top of the dash I can't really see a way around this. In my Subaru there was a single din sized plate in the dash that was perfect for mounting gauges, shame there's nothing like that on my Bighorn!
Cheers,
Josh |

Assuming the dash layout on yours is similar to my own (don't have a picture handy - so have pinched this of a slightly different model)
My car has the simpler heater controls; and I'm somewhat aware that some models have additional climate controls such as those shown in the picture...
BUT - The car has, effectively, two single-din positions. - One below the ashtray (B) and another above the vents (A) . There is a further (less visible mind-you) panel (C) between the dash and the centre console...
My instinct would be to relocate the radio - either to slot (B) or in aa after-masrket pod grafted below the dash at panel (C) leaving the DIN slot (A) available for your gauges... |
