It's just a piece of plastic that goes over your original gauges.


That ebay page is so annoying it hurts. At 1680 by 1050 I resolution I still have to scroll left and right.

Agreed, they look Germanic to me. They're one of those crazy nations that likes to use x100 on their tachs, instead of the x1000.

lol, down at the bottom of the auction page, it shows 150 hits... with over 200 views to this thread, I'm willing to bet that all but maybe a handfull were directed from YT

Look at where 60 is on the speedo, looks way too low on the gauge to be in MPH, looks like it's in Kilometers, plus the way the Tach looks.

Maybe it came from a Runner that was originally in Europe or Japan....do they use Kilos in Japan??

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.
Gee..wonder what the error was.

Well, I emailed him and pointed out that those weren't from a 2nd gen 4Runner. He didn't reply, but he did end the auction. Might have been coincidence.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture or a link would you? Of course...that sounds like a lot of hassle for something that will still tell you how fast you are going....unless you have different tires/gears....still cool though and I'd like to see it.
