Ok just let me know I haven't given the money to Steve yet for those KP gauges. I wish I just gave you guys the extra 98+ console I had laying around...

If I come across one at the junk yard or for whatever reason I'll let you know

my2ks10xtreme · 07-08-2008, 04:54 PM

Just ordered my AVS gauges with blue LEDs

Thanks again Kris you guys are awesome!!!! I will have plenty pics when my install is all complete.

my2ks10xtreme · 07-08-2008, 04:59 PM

Nice looking gauges can't wait to have them in and all back together

my2ks10xtreme · 07-09-2008, 12:09 AM

Ok so if anyone wants to hook up the gauge lights so they dim with your headlight switch dimmer hook up your power wire to the GREEN wire on the headlight switch harness.

my2ks10xtreme · 07-09-2008, 07:12 PM

Look what came in today

Kris thanks again!!! Extremely fast shipping, I got them overnight...

Still need to pick up 1/8" OD x 1/8" NPTF Female connectors and I'm ready to go

AVS FTW!!!!

Edit:

Oh yeah and get my gauge pod painted, hopefully will have this all done very very soon!!

~~AVS_KRIS~~ · 07-09-2008, 07:15 PM

I have two parker stores in the area, I'll probably try them out see what they have...

I'm in no rush because I still need to get my pod painted probably wont have that back until the end of July

my2ks10xtreme · 07-09-2008, 11:11 PM

Ok ok I know I'm a picture whore haha... anyways got my gauges mounted on my pod and fully mounted to the truck for a final test fit before it goes into paint:

SgtM · 07-09-2008, 11:16 PM

Thanks bro!! Yeah I can't wait until everything is re-installed as well I'm tired of driving around with basically no interior but it will be well worth it when all is said and done.

my2ks10xtreme · 07-09-2008, 11:34 PM

couple of my friends wanted to see up close and different angles so here we go:

my2ks10xtreme · 07-12-2008, 05:06 PM

Got a couple more shots of it in the truck after I cleaned it all out, I'm hopefully dropping it off today or tomorrow for paint.

Well here are some pics of my billet switch panel and gauges and cleaned the truck so i threw some of those pics up too:

Crazygenius13 · 07-12-2008, 07:20 PM

Looks clean. Would look much better with a dash on it.

BTE · 07-12-2008, 11:00 PM

Wow that looks really nice. Im loving the switch panel.

my2ks10xtreme · 07-13-2008, 04:09 AM

Thanks guys!!

I get my dash bezal, door cups, and defrost vent tomorrow and giving Pete my pod to paint so excited!! Pete I'm going to be rolling out with Kim to your place so I have some company on the 1 hr drive...

KENNYMO · 07-13-2008, 04:23 AM

tom you are saying to just splice the power wire from the gauge into the green wire on the back of the little headlight switch panel?
will this allow me to use that as the on/off for the light or will that make it so the gauge light automatically goes on when the headlights go on?

The gauge light will automatically go on with the parking lights or headlights, and allows you to dim the light if needed. I'm actually going to get a new cluster and run LEDs in my whole truck, probably do a cool white or blue, leaning more towards blue but we'll see.

KingScratchie · 07-13-2008, 04:23 PM

Looks super clean, and I like the switch box in the center console.

Thanks I've spent a lot of time on both of those pieces, AVS is actually in the works of putting together a switch panel for the center console.

I don't know if you seen my thread on it, link is in my sig.

a forum member was nice enough to donate his so we can finish the console switch panel

my2ks10xtreme · 07-14-2008, 07:25 PM

Kris, I have been wanting to order a billet column shifter but Ricky was telling me his didn't fit or work out, is that problem with all of them or just his particular one?

The company who makes the shifters totally screwed up the labeling on the box....the 98-03 were in the 94-97 boxes and vise versa
