Ordered White Guages from U.S.

[Driver]

Just placed an order for White Gauges / Dials that also light up Indigo and other various colors in the Dark with a remote switch and also a Bronze !! Brushed ally Guage surround for a total of £58.00 inc postage direct from the U.S.
Smurf recommended somebody that imports them but after speaking to him tonight he wont be putting an order in for a few weeks so hopefully they will be here and fitted before he even orders !! I'll post some pics and and let you know how well they fit and what the quality is like a.s.a.p.

Yeh right - saw it about 1978 -see you later I'm just going out to give it another clean -think I've just seen a bird s*** on it !!!!!!!!!

Going back to the gauges, I hav been put off getting the guages from the US because the speedo goes to 110 over there, and 105 on mine, then there is the tachometer, and mine doesn't go anywhere near as high as theirs.

personally i think it will look great

[Driver]

Personally I just hope they work as described cos thats the trouble when ordering from the States it would be more trouble than there worth returning them and also hope they send the correct ones / type. Also will prob have to pay DUTY on collection from the post office never got away with it yet !!!

My Speedo Gauage is out by 10 mph any way since I fitted 32" tyres reads 30 when it is actually doing 40 but this can be changed / adjusted when I fit the new Dial faces. I'll check the Tacho though!!!

Andy, did you manage to find dials with the correct numbers on the speedo and tacho? All the ones I've seen are 110mph, and 8,000rpm, (as mentioned by Trev), like these, for example,

Hmmm, think thats the problem in the good old USA, diesels are rarer than the proverbial! The dials are probably for a V6 petrol 4-runner, of which there are shedloads,and as you know these do rev a bit higher than the trusty oil burners!
