Would like to know where some of y'all mounted y'all's aftermarket oil guage or any guage really, I have an 02 and wanna find a goo place that dosent Stick out like A sore thumb. I have the metal bracket not pods
 
The "A-Pillar" gauge pod is the easiest. You can buy a single or double.
 
^If you're looking for clean and neat and easy that's a good way to go.

I stuck mine with the bracket it came with right under the ignition switch midway up the plastic knee panel. It's low enough that for the most part the wires and plastic tube is hidden. It's not as professional looking as I would but I don't think it sticks out like a sore thumb. I route all my interior wiring through (I think) the shift cable hole in the firewall, as that was torn by the previous owner.
 
Mine is under my ashtray, kinda bottom mid centre of the dash if that makes any sense. I have 3 actually. I'd post a pic but still haven't figured out how yet. But I'm gonna make a glass piller pod to be more like the cool guys.
 
^^Mine is in a similar location to LilGreen's. Right in front of the gear shift and T-Case Levers.
 
Also pretty easy on older Rangers with the metal dash to mount them on the surface...I was thinking of doing that with the 88...or use those empty speaker covers for something other than a drainage for my spilled coffee...

On an 02 not familiar with the interior, but I'm sure you'd want them somewhere that you don't have to drop your eyes and hunt around for them when you want to know what's going on...

I also like the pods on the pillar...those look nice...
