Question Gauge pods

Anyone know of a "A Pillar" mount. (drivers side roof support) for the JK.
I need to get a dual pod unit for Trans and oil pressure gages.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm really surprised to see oil pressure and voltage not standard on most vehicles anymore.

Oil pressure is a must imo.

I might do that too. Originally I wanted to install: Trannytemp, Oil pressure, front and rear diff. temp. gages. I still might but I don't have my JK do see how to come up with a install plan.
What is the trany and diff regular operating temps?
I got a VDO tranny gage that goes to 400 degrees, and also a VDO oil pressure gage so far.
Who knows of a good tranny cooler too? And what is the minimum size I should get?
Thanks.

Do you have a added cage?

I want a voltage gauge for two batteries (I want a dual battery setup when one is available) as well as oil pressure and transmission temperature.

Good luck finding a place to mount a second battery. Space seems at a premium under the hood and under the JK. Best bet would be in the rear behind the rear seat.

I already don't have much room behind the seat, so that's out of the question. There is at least one company pursuing a solution to the problem. I think their solution uses Odyssey batteries that are smaller and thus somehow can fit.
