Question What' the best location for installing rs9000 guages?

I have RS9000's installed and I'm considering getting the remote controls for them. Where's the best place to mount them?

DO NOT BUY THE REMOTE KIT!!! I had it installed on my truck and it worked fine for about 6 months, and then it started leaking and I couldn't get it to quit leaking. After working on it for countless hours, I finally took that dang thing off. It is a cool device when it is working, which is about 10% of the time for me. I also have a friend with a Z-71 who had the exact same problem. I know that some people have had better luck with them than me, but I think it is a waste of money, not to mention it will take you at least one full day to install it.

Thumbs up

DO BUY THE REMOTE KIT!!!!!!! I've had it on for almost 2 years and never had any problems with it. Not sure what the problem with lovemy4x4's was, but I installed mine in about 3 or 4 hours. I use it all the time. It absolutly is a waste of money and is not needed, but thats why I love it! Really cool!

Here is a pic of my gauge installed.
