Post Passenger's Side Gauge Pods

Does anybody make passenger's side gauge pods for the Lightning? I'd like to put a couple over there (like a little speedo to scare the bejeezus out of people).

I don't know anybody who does but I would like some too. I want more gauges in the truck for my reading.

There needs to be another spot to put gauges. maybe like they do in the dashes on the f250

you could always do what "Bulldog" did. he had 3 xta gauges mounted in the passenger air bag cover of the dash. now the good part is, as they are watching the speedo climb, and reaching for the osh*t handle, that you removed, you then remind them that the only way the gauges would fit in there, was to remove "their" airbag

Then they realize how that picture of him dead inside a truck with a pink bulldog is going to make him look gay!

Silver'

Eliminate the passenger OH GAWD handle in an effort to further en-lighten passengers?

crafty indeed!!

However, If installing a speedo over yonder, I would advise installing a cut-out switch and/or covert potentiometer allowing for manual output adjustment in order to prevent swats, slaps, elbows, pokes, prods, or verbal abuse from significant others regarding our felonious tendancies.

Silver:

Like BBQ said, BullDog had an idea you may be interested in. You can contact him at Jim@bulldogneon.com He has pictures of it.

I don't think anybody makes a gauge pillar for the pass side.

Hope that helps.

youd probably have to have a custom pillar for the guages. Thats an interesting idea though, never heard of that.

How about single-gauge pods for the pasenger's side? I think I've seen them offered for Mustangs, if my memory serves.
