Hey guys! I recently traded in my 10 Tacoma and pick up a 2012 TE. I pulled most of the aftermarket parts with plans to install them into the 4Runner. One part I pulled is my Craven Speed Flex Pods with GlowShift gauges (pic below).
Toyota Truck Gauge Mounting Kit
I found out that the mount is different between the Tacoma and 4Runner. I planned on ordering the new one but I thought I'd check and make sure the "sandwich plate" I used before would fit. Sure enough the oil filter has been relocated and uses a different type of filter. In the Tacoma the filter was on top and made install easy. The 4Runner appears as though I will have to weld on a bung, which I don't plan on doing, in the middle of the oil change. Does anyone know another way, preferably plug-n-play, of getting oil pressure and temp? If it turns out to difficult I'll just end up selling the gauges. Thanks in advance.
