Just curious because I recently installed one off an '87 4Runner into my '85 SR5 XtraCab but couldn't find a plug in the harness to plug it into.

I doubt that they are. When I installed one in my 1989 4Runner I couldn't find anything to plug it into. I just ran one line to ground and one line to the dimmer control wire that is not longer used behind my radio (aftermarket stereo doesn't use it).

mine had all the wires underneath the dash and plugged right in. i have an 87 pickup and i got mine from an 87 4Runner.

i think this picture looks sweet so im gonna post it for you haha.

I was hoping to just plug it right in. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Oh well, I just tapped into a tail light circuit for power. Now I just gotta find one for my '86. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

if you look at the clinometer harness, there should be two plugs on it, one can plug into the other. the harness is a jumper. you pull the plug off the HVAC lights behind the dash and plug it into the clinometer harness, then plug the other end of the clinometer harness into the HVAC light. if your clinmeter harness has been hacked-off, just get some wire tap connectors and splice into the same plug for the HVAC lights

I'm jealous of the fuel guage location <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

hahahaha, i am too right now lol.

you guys like my horn button i made from a doorbell right above my radio? lol.

You know what would make that look alot sweeter? take those d*mn green condoms off all the lights! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


I hooked my horn up to the windshield washer button because for some reason unknown to me the buttons refuse to work.....and I was forced to dump the washer resavor cause my Optima was too big <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

nah, ive tried it out w/ the sr5 gauges and everything has a yellow tint to it, not white. i also tried red and blue. but in the end, i liked the factory green the best.

why was your optima too big? mine fit just fine w/o removing the washer reservoir. if you ever go mudding you are going to be hating yourself for getting rid of it.

I donno, AFAIK, it came out of a crown vic, used in a patrol car for 6 mo. then given away, my buddies shop can get them for $25 bucks, and that's what I paid, so I didn't argue with the price.....

Any mud we have around here is while it's raining or right after it's raining, so just make sure you've got the wipers on when you hit the mud, and you're good to go.....I was out in the mud about 4 times these past 2 weeks, as this is probally the last time we're gettin rain 'till monsoon season <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> and the only clean place on the truck was where the wipers go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
