OK, Some may not like this but here it is. I have been wanting a SR5 Cluster mainly for the tach as I already have a Volts and Oil Pressure gauge that I had installed the first time I owned my Toyota. I found a cluster on ebay for 55.00 that was supposed to be in great shape. Well the lens was cracked and separated from the black insert so I figured I would try to find a new lens for it. Last week I pulled my cluster to test the new one and adjust the potientiometer for a 4 cyl. When I plugged it up, I had no tach( needed to add the wire, no biggie), the fuel gauge didn't work( repin I guess) and the temp gauge read but was errratic. So i figured that that it would require another cluster and some time to figure everything out. In the mean time I was at Advance Auto and was looking at the gauges. I came across this small 2 5/8 inch tach for 32.00. The counter guy told me I could return iti if I didn't like the fit. Since I already have a volt and oil gauge I figured why not ?? So, I put it in and fixed a few dash rattles as well as painted the ash tray and some of the dash blanks that had faded over time. Not exactly Factory but I think it looks OK. I may keep an eye out for a SR5 tach and swap it in down the road.
Its a 1988 2WD Deluxe. The interior is in pretty good shape and the body is to but I need to paint it.

It works for me. If it has been a giant 6" tach like the wanna be fast and furious clones have my opinion would be somewhat negative

 

Clean install, and CLEAN interior! Good job!

 

It does the job and you can still see your temps so i say GO YOU!

 

Thanks alot guys !! It means alot coming from core Yota fans.

Nice install! Clean truck too!

 

Nice installation and clean interior. You have an OEM tape/radio. I had the same one in my '88 and ripped it out for the love of CD's in about 1996. I couldn't quite remember what it looked like. There it is. Nice truck.
