After doing all the install work, I wouldn’t try and save a few $$ with low cost gauges.

Here are two I have found to work and hold-up well.

I'm actually using trans temp gauges for water temp, oil temp, and trans temp. I like the Isspro gauges, great tech support from them too. http://www.isspro.com/index.php

Here's a good online dealer for them:

I've got 3 of these (the 12 volt ones of course):

I just noticed you have a 94 4runner, the isspro gauges match the factory gauges very well if you order the optional green bulb covers. That makes them just like the factory gauges with green lighting, black face and red pointer.

I agree with Ozzy. If you do it, do it right. Don't get cheap ones. I like AutoMeter. Used them for boost gauges back in the day.
