Adding more gauges to the a pillar?

Other than a new a pillar and gauges, what adapters do I need and where would I connect, for example, a coolant temp gauge or a oil temp gauge on an LNF? I'm getting really sick of shuffling through the DIC whenever I want to know the coolant temperature!

Would this be the right kind of gauge? I've seen that there are places on the block to attach the sensor.

Oil temp gauge ud have to do in the head or the block. There is a plug on the side of the head , and in the block under manifold and one under turbo. Side of the head is probably the easiest. I don't remember the adapter u need , got it at home, as I am also putting oil temp in. Water temp, idk if there is any plugs for that on head, I just got an adaptor that u put on the upper rad hose, u cut the hose in half and connect it, has a 1/8 port for ur sensor. Only tells u the temp when ur coolant goes into rad though. Which is kinda nice for knowing if ur thermostat is working or not. Sensors and junk come with the gauges so no worries there

Don't think that would work with our oil system.we use paper filter under a cap.

Best answer so far. ZZP makes a pretty nice pillar pod as well.
