I was wonderin how hard is it to install the gauges you camoed? and how do you wire it in?
btw thanks to you i will be doin an SR5 guage swap this weekend! picked up a cluster out of a local junk yard for $10 and the oil pressure sensor for 29 at autozone. just gotta get home and plug it all in.

Altimeter has no wires, its all based off air pressure. Only wires for inclinometer are 12 volts for lights, power off ignition hot, or instrument lights and you should be good to go.

The altimeter gauges are easy to install. They bolt right into the dash pad, and to wire them up is even easier, there is already the connector in the dash all you need to do is plug it in.

Congrats on finding an SR5 cluster, it makes the truck look way better IMO. Did you get one out of a truck with the same engine? Otherwise you'll have to recalibrate the tach.

Correct, the plug that connects it is already in the dash.

I wasn't planning on SASing the IFS is good enough for the wheeling i do. At the Harry's U-pull-it in Allentown they only had a first gen IFS 4Runner, no solid axle trucks. But i havent been up there in a few weeks. I can almost gurantee that the Harry's in Hazleton has SFA trucks. I say come the end of March/April we head up to Harry's in Hazleton.

Nothing wrong with planning for the future Swimmer. The new SE models aren't too bad, my wife wants one.
