Is there any interest in anybody wanting a full replacement gauge pod for their truck and getting rid of the overlay type?


I just put an overlay in my truck and i'm not too happy with the way it looks in my $40k+ truck.


I'm looking into having these made for our trucks if there is enough interest. These will be a full replacement, color matched 2 or 3 gauge pods.


You guys can check out http://www.gaugepods.com/ for some of their other pods if you're interested.


EDIT: Prices will be in the $50 dollar range and a min. of 30 orders for this to happen.Edited by: BlackZ71

BlackZ71, count me in for a three gauge pod http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif! How long will it take them? Well we first need to get the 30 people in for it. And according to their web site:


Mold-making process - approx 4-5 weeks

Initial production run - approx 3-4 weeks

Finishing and shipping - approx 1 week after product availability.

They will be color matched.


I'm sending off an email back to them to see how many people will be needed if we do both 2 and 3 gauge pods. And anything else we all need to know to get this going.


Also what interior colors are in all the trucks? charcoal, tan and light gray?

I've had one of their pillar pods for about two years now on my Nissan...We did a group buy on the Nissan Forum...They were/are available color matched and it was spot on!...I'm now waiting on my new Chevy Duramax and just got a Auto Meter pod...However I would be interested so add my name to the list...They even made them up with or without the tweeter provisions...See my pictures for details............Triffid

Ok guys if we do both 2 and 3 gauge pods we're going to need 30 for each. I don't know if there is enough interest for both so i'm going to need everyone to list what they want and what color.


Ok now does anybody have an A-Pillar sitting around that we could send to them? Also inorder to color match all the colors they need a 4x4 square of all the colors.

I would like a 2 guage with tweeter as well. Pretty sure I have graphite interior as well. I would be willing to go with a 3 guage pod if necessary.

Interested in a 2 ga w/tweeter neutral/tan for an 02. The tweeter may be just the thing for my cb ext spkr. Do we know if the part is the same for 01~04 both rados and gmc? Will this migrate to group buy forum?Edited by: ShumDit

What's a tweeter?





The small speaker mounted in the A pillar...I think, but am not certain, that it is only on the 03's and up.

Yes, it is the small speaker mounted in the A pillar. Comes on 03 and newer with the Bose system.

The Autometer pod DOES NOT have to be mounted overlying the stock pillar cover. Just remove stock, and mount overlay. Use push-pin connectors at the top only, to attach it to the headliner. I did mine this way last year, and it looks great. It does not require presence of stock cover to work. Does not look right when overlayed, I agree.</TD></TR>

Being away for awhile (holidays &amp; travel) I'm wondering what has come of this effort? The way I read it, as of this last is that there's isn't enuff interest?
