Getting the Wheeling Fever
A few years ago I went to an aftermarket gage in my 85 4 runner. In that period of time the copper line has cracked twice. I'm starting to get paranoid that this is going to happen at an inopportune time. I converted the original dash cluster from idiot lights to the gage version with a tach. From what I can see the only conversion I needed to put this back to stock is get an oil sending unit for a gaged instrument cluster.

thanks 4crawler. Any recommendations on where to get one other than the stealership.

Body Damage is Cool
did you hook up the sr5 gauges w/ the tach and not disconnect the original idiot light sender? if so your oil pressure gauge is probably broken b/c it was fully grounded. i thought the lines for the aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauges were polyurethane tubing not copper. the copper lines are usually used for the aftermarket temp. gauge.
