US built on the left (4T VIN)

Imagine trying to transport an engine, or two, in a 3rd gen 4Runner. It would suck. The truck is perfect for this.

The red 1990 2-door 4Runner is in the midst of a 5-speed manual swap.


The original auto transmission used a VSS with a cable to speedometer. The R150F being used for the swap came from a 1993 model with electronic VSS.






I just happened to have a newer SR5 cluster to swap into the 4Runner, and all it will take is to wire in the electronic VSS (3 wires). I also disassembled the odometer to match the mileage, so the mileage reading is still 100% accurate.






The old cable driven cluster was now available to be swapped into the pickup truck, which is an 89 and uses a cable.
















New oil pressure sending unit














Tachometer adjusted with ohm meter to match 4-cyl










Installed 4Runner speaker boxes while it was apart.









Very nice to finally have an SR5 cluster.


The voltage, oil pressure, and tachometer are great, one overlooked feature is the trip meter. So strange not having one in the base cluster.

Been following your Supra threads for a very long time now. Kinda forgot you had a pickup until I saw the A80s update today. I just got a little 91 pickup a couple of months ago and I have to say I love the little thing so much. Did the gauge swap myself and will be getting a Clutch Cancel switch very soon to add that. Didn't think it would be already wired for that but I'm not too surprised. These things are just big Legos lol thanks for all of the awesome pictures and updates across the board! Can't wait to see more!

Reading this thread makes me want a pickup even more now.. but my '90 4runner is getting 3.4 swapped and after that I have an '86 Supra to work on next
