Dash Guage Pods !!!

It's been 4 years since I posted the original inquiry about this. In the meantime I've dealt with many personal and family health issues, but have now fully recovered and am ready to re-visit this project.

I know that not everyone uses Facebook, but there is a page created there with a poll to determine the public's interest in seeing these re-manufactured. There's currently enough interest there to warrant production. However, the low volume would put the prices around $100 per set (base & top) plus shipping. We need more people to show interest so that we can get the price down to the $45 range.

The page is ... https://www.facebook.com/PodsGuy

We need everyone to go there and LIKE the post for which pod you'd be interested in. Having everyone's interest centralized into one location is the best way to monitor this. For those who do not use Facebook, send a message here .... podmanproducts@yahoo.com

Choices are:

3 Pod - Right Mount
4 Pod - Right Mount
5 Pod - Right Mount

3 Pod - Left Mount
4 Pod - Left Mount
5 Pod - Left Mount


The Left Mount is a 2nd Gen base that actually fits the 1st Gen very nicely. And for those of us who REALLY like gauges, as you can see, 2 of the 5 Pods will fill the dash !!! ( I have resized this pic several times, it still won't show the whole thing. Any help with this would be great)

NOTE: These are NOT being produced yet. We need everyone to show their interest so that an accurate cost can be determined. At which point, a separate post will be made in the Classifieds section.

Done.

I'd be very interested in a 4gauge setup on the right side.

E-mail sent....;)

I have also posted up links to this thread on 3 other 1st gen forums, Diesel truck resource, Cummins forum, and Competition diesel.... Hope that generates some more interest. But even at the $100 price point you mentioned I would still be interested.

We're making progress on these. There's enough interest now to get the prices down to $70 for a 3 or 4 pod, and $80 for a 5 pod. I hope to meet with the company next week that will be producing these for us. I'll keep everyone posted here.

I have a meeting with the company on this Thursday to finalize some production details. After that, the funding campaign will be created.

Received final numbers from them today. It seems they originally misunderstood the project's objective and requirements, therefore the quotes they gave me were a lot lower than what I now have in-hand.

The new production costs are substantially more, so I will need a few weeks to formulate a new plan for funding the project, and to determine what the new cost per pod will be.

"Thank You" to everyone who has shown interest in these and in this page.

I will post again when I have determined how to keep the price of these at or below $100 each.

Well why doesn't that surprise me.... :?

Seems everyone out there doesn't actually want to give you "real world" numbers....just try and lead you along until it's almost too late and you have to commit to the higher price. :(

Thank you for all your effort on these...Let us know when you figure things out.

I started working with a new company on this project last week.

I'll keep everyone updated on the progress here, on TDR 1st Gen page, and the Facebook page.

Here we go again ....... :bounce:

I was contacted last week by a retailer who is friends with the man who originally manufactured these pods. The OEM guy still has the tooling, and is willing to make more.

I will be in negotiations with him this week on production quantities and prices !!!

Spread the word guys ...... This is happening
