Best place to mount auxiliary gauges? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

greembow · 02-02-2023, 12:46 PM

Hi there, I've been wanting to add a digital oil pressure gauge to my rig for quite some time, but I can't find a good place to mount it. I've looked at the FlexPod from CravenSpeed, but I can't get over the price and the fact that it will probably block my trip mileage, which I use to figure out my remaining fuel, as my gas gauge doesn't work properly. Are there any other good places to mount a 2 1/16.

the best OEM way is to get some of the 1st gen tacoma a-pillar plastic trim pieces

You can do a dash-top phone mount and add a gauge mount, scangauge mount and add a 2 1/16 holder, etc.

Or if it something like a gas gauge (not something you need to see all the time, down below the radio on the left is a decent spot for a custom plate to mount a gauge.

Thanks for the shoutout guys

. Here are a couple of installations to give an idea of how the gauges can be mounted:

Haha! I already have your ultragauge mount! I didn't use it for an ultragauge, but I used it to mount my ICOM ID-5100A Deluxe Ham Radio! It works great! I'll look into the gauge mount from you!

Timmy has a video where he installs a transmission temp gauge in a 98' and mounts the gauge in a little plastic housing thing that attaches to the driver side A-pillar. Looked pretty clean from what I remember, you should watch that video and see if that location would work for your needs.
