hi guys im looking down the line of installing some gauges in my new 150 and in my old 79 i ran a pilla pod which i bought off ebay and it looked fantastic and looked factory after i matched the interior plastics coloiur.
has anyone installed or seen someone with a dash mounted or pilla pod for a set of 52mm gauges

thankyou in advance

I think you will struggle to find anything like this. The pillar pod will defiantly not be legal in the 150, it will obstruct the correct operation of the airbags. I have been faced with the same situation and am thinking of mounting them hidden in the compartment in the centre under the A/C controls, open the door and they are visible.

thats a fantastic idea, in the cruiser i ran the bainteck volt/amp meter but this time im thinking the autron dual meters. one with dual volt plus amp meters and the other with boost and egt
could u recommend any other good brands?

Not really, still working it all out myself. I love the old fashioned VDO gauges, they work well and are clear to read, but they just don't suit the prado. Was thinking the digital ones that are just a numbers read out, I saw them somewhere around here, in the 120 section i think.
