I am guessing the pillar gauge mount would preclude a later install of AllPro's in-cab roll cage?


This is the only reason that I don't have Jeff's pillar in my truck. I don't think that the cage and the gauge pillar would be compatible. I ended up mounting the gauges where the pocket under the radio used to be, but would rather have them up higher.

Didn't think about the wing windows... probably won't open very far once I get the cage in.

Hi Jeff-

Yeah, the gauge pillars and the roll cage are incompatible, but there are several companies that make gauge mounts for roll cages. Here's one, for example. Do a search on Google for "roll cage gauge mount" and you'll find a bunch of these in various tubing sizes.

Roger,
Is that Rhino-liner all over the interior and dash? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Just wondering...

Great pix, Roger. Looks like it *might* work pretty well, my next question is: what about the wing windows? You have those too, no? I reeeeeeeeally like them, swung around backwards they provide that nether region cooling effect to great satisfaction... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" />

As mentioned before, these are pictures of a truck (not mine) that had a gauge pillar and in-cab cage installed.

Got that, just wondered since you had seen it and were considering such a setup yourself if you thought it might conflict with wing windows.
