No one has ever done custom gauges in a Toyota.

What do you mean? Autometers? white faces?

 

My custom gauges:



They won't win any awards, but they do the job.

Never did them on a yota (yet). But here's what I've done before...

 

That's Sweet looks like something from a 80's tv show how did you do that

 

7 microcontrollers, a bunch of LEDs, and some special alphanumeric displays.

Oh, and about 6 months of R&D.

 

Yep- nothing fancy, but they work real well & don't block my view. I made the bracket below the radio, and the A-pillar pod was about $75.

 

i have an aftermarket water temp gauge mounted on my dash in the same area as the boost gauge on 89934runr, but its on the dash not the pillar, and on an 87. it was a pretty easy install and i am much more confident in what it says over what the stock gauge would say.

 

Those electronic gauges remind me of my 84 Corvette, but more interesting..

 

i have seen whitefaces of the 84-88 PU/4Runner SR5 and single big speedo DLX clusters before

 

i still gotta find a spot to put my tach in my truck...

 

I had the same kind of tach right on top of my steering column cover (on my1st gen).

 

where could we find white faces?

 

When I am ready for custom guages, I will be building a custom dash tto go along with it...

 

you can get white faced ones for the 2nd gens on ebay i don't know about 1st gens

 

If you are looking for the 3-gauge A-pillar pod, i have an extra that I might be willing to sell.

 

i have a 2 5/8th autometer sport comp gauge mounted in an autometer pod on my dash... *shrugs* works for what i use it for.

 

Is the oil pressure gauge a mechanical one or an electrical one ?


Thanks,
Fred

 

Reminds me of K.I.T.T.

 

what i want to do is relpace the entire guage cluster with automerters. (spedometer, tach, gas, vlots...) ive done this in my chevy so i know how to do it but im just not shure what the toyota spedometer cable will adapt too.

heres what i did in my chevy
