Managed to make it to the junkyard this past weekend. Found 2 Toyota's, both were picked pretty clean. But one still had the instrument cluster. I noticed it looked just like the one in my 89. This one was in a 93. But the guages had a much better design. So I removed it and took it home. Last night, I finally got around to swapping out the temp and gas guage. I know this isn't as extensive a mod as most of you do, but we all have to start somewhere.
cool hey anything to make it look cleaner is good
HELL YEAH DUDE, LOOKIN GOOD. ITS THE SUBTLE MODS THAT GO A LONG WAY....THE MODS I LIKE ARE THE ONES THAT NOBODY WOULD NOTICE REALLY UNLESS THEY KNEW ALOT ABOUT TOYOTA'S. I THINK YOU CAN GET WHITE FACE GLOW GAUGES OFF EBAY FOR THAT YEAR PRETTY EASY... JUST SAYIN INCASE YOU WANTED THEM.
WTF, my speedo only goes to 80?
Thanks, I also agree. I like the subtle changes that only a true enthusiast would notice. Went through the glow guage phase with the Focus I had. What a waste of money. Back in 1980, a truck was meant for doing work. Speed wasn't an issue.
mine goes to 110 but i've gone 125 lol
lol, ive tapped 115 in mine. with a 4 speed it sounded like the fuker wanted to blow up...it was spinning close to if not at red line. i just got my hands on a 5 spd i plan on puttin in it in the next few weeks.
but yeah my speedo only goes to 110 too.
i love topping out my dash lol
haha hell ya man i done that a couple times too truck sounds like its gunna die,then i went down to 100 and thats when the sparks flew,got kinda scary cuz road had sum badspots lol
i actually want to get the double gauge like the sr5 n 4 runners. my shit broke so i don't know how fast i'm really going....
