You will need the following in order to complete this swap.

- 1 oil pressure switch from any auto parts store. specifically, the "gauge" type.
- 1 spade connector
- wire splicers/crimpers
- ~16 gauge wire of your choice color.

84-88 Pickup and 4Runner SR5 Gauge Cluster swap write up by SD Yota]]> 40 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 18:57:48 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/led-gauge-cluster-conversation-problems.27310/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/led-gauge-cluster-conversation-problems.27310/ invalid@example.com (Kenaidig) Kenaidig I'm refreshing a gauge cluster on my 1988 Toyota. I bought some Led T5 from Amazon. Only one turn signal works, and the other one makes a noise like it's flashing real fast, but no light working.. and NONE of the other lights work at all...
Did I get the right lamps? Or are these just cheap Chinese lamps that don't work or do I need to add a resistor or something?
Any help appreciated... TIA]]> 5 Tue, 09 Feb 2021 22:21:46 +0000 https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/electronic-distribution.26476/ https://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/electronic-distribution.26476/ invalid@example.com (Jonathan Warren) Jonathan Warren

So i did this swap to my friends 89 22r 4spd 1st i found a 4runner with the cluster and was a 4 cylinder so no need for me to adjust the tach.
things you will need......
-16 guage wire walmart has it
- a connector to hook up the wire for the tach to work
-the oil pressure switch/sender LOOKS LIKE THE ONE ONE THE RIGHT

ok so...

I've heard of people doing this with certain cell phones. They mount them
so that in the event their truck is stolen, they can activate the phone, get the location and relay the info to police.

Has anyone here tried this?

Thanks!

The tricky part is taking your clear lens off without cracking the hell out of it. Just gently pry at it and try to stay close to the edges.

Once you have your lens off you can use small brushes and Q-tips to clean out any dirt, dead bugs,...

the second problem is the tail lights when the lights are on they work but when the brake is pressed in the lights don't get brighter.

Just thought I would show off the custom box that came in the truck I just purchased. Perfect for those wanting a small and simple sub box. Surprisingly enough, the small box hits pretty good.


The box uses the trucks floor and back (fiberglassed in) as part of the box sides. The box houses a JL Audio 6W3v3 4Ω 6.5" sub powered by an Alpine mrx m50 mono clad D amp (300x1 @ 14.4V)
