Default gauges

I am having the rock hard sport bar installed on a 2007 rubicon unlimited. Has anyone put qauges mounting ion the bar that is right above the dash.. Seems like a good place to put them in cups mounted to the bar. If anyone has and have pictures I would like to see them

George,

I have my Trans Temp and Voltage gauges mounted on the pilar just behind the RockHard. Here's a pic .....

Before the cage


After the cage

I was and sheesh

I really like the look of that cage, does the bar across the bottom of windshield take getting used to? It would suck to have to get rid of my Cop4x4 gauge pod though

I got the aeroforce gauge in my pod, these things READ EVERYTHING, when my dashboard went out I set the aeroforce to display MPH

I don't think that Camp's gauge pilar would work with it, and I don't blame you for not wanting to get rid of it. The bar across the dash doesn't really bother me since it sits almost on the dash. I've added the Daystar upper panel since that pic. It helps support my Pioneer GPS perfectly.......

Think Safety and any obstruction through the front windshield can mean trouble. The pictures tell the story. The Aeroforce seems to be less obstructive and easy to view, easy to wire and a lot of specialized programs. Not cheap but probably does the job.

:confused:

the gauges are bought separate from the mounts, so the aeroforce has nothing to do with it being less obstructive, do you realize that?

Serve camps pod definitely wont work I saw that after I saw JP's cage in his, oh well I'll worry about it after I roll the first time
