hoverlover’s “there are many like it, but this one is mine” extra long title bs thread and build too

That looks nice and clean. I can tolerate a few imperfections as long as I don't have to force it to work. Where'd you get yours and about how much was it, if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks bud, got it directly from this website:

It says its for 05-09 tacos but it will work in your truck, mines a 13 and it worked

Choose the "light grey" option

About 60 bucks i believe

 

I need moar haha but running out of places to put them

 

How about this one



Found the pod, searching for gauges

 

Hory shet, our trucks normally run around 4psi of oil pressure? Oil pressure light comes on at 2psi lol I guess that's why they don't put an oil pressure gauge in them, that would freak me out for sure.

Guess I should stop looking at analog pressure gauges

 

Reminds me of some of my old dodges lol!

 

Looks nice, but then i'd have to get rid of my head unit.. I have been considering putting one where the 4wd switch is after i swap in my FJ case..

It'd be cool to get one of those bezels that came on the dash of the FJ and try to retrofit that to accept some gauges

52mm gauges are what i have

 

Wow, i had no idea.. 4psi seems really low

 

I saw someone put a 52mm gauge in the same place as the 4x4 knob, not sure if I still have the link, but it got me looking for a dual oil pressure/temp gauge. That would be pretty clean.

Right?! Newer engines are a trip. Another reason I want a good ole fashioned diesel.

I think so too! May take a little work, but shouldnt be too bad

Definitely strange.. How's your truck been running lately btw?

 

Very cool, nice find! thanks buddy

 

I’ve been thinking about trying one of these. I had one in a dodge and liked it. Looking at the windshield angle, I think it might just be close enough to work but I’m not positive.

Quick dicking around with gauges an get gears

 

I had been thinking about replacing that trim with the 2wd trim.

Truck is running good. The CV noise that started in Utah is gone but the groan is still present. I'm thinking it's the needle bearing. It will occasionally make some pretty unpleasant sounds at very low speeds (<2 mph). The oil filter had around 750 miles when I swapped it out for the smaller, correct side for. It had shavings and slivers. Not as many as the previous filter obviously but the slivers I found were larger than before. I wish I had taken a picture but my hands were covered in oil and I was in a rush. Engine sounds fine and is running good otherwise. Still no signs of impending doom.

 

I'd love to start the diesel swap but I'm not ready physically, mentally, or financially! Gotta keep the 4.0 alive a bit longer.

 

Think it'll clear above the mirror?

 

Have you found or bought the diesel yet to start rebuilding

 

Runner till she blewsssss
