Newly designed 3rd Gen Scangauge mount

[mesooohoppy]

Sunroof wiring changed between '96-'98 and '99-'02 trucks... but there are write-ups on how to make the changeover. The FMU's match the early style wiring, as far as I know, but mount like the '99+ glasses console.

The FMU housing I have has identical connectors to the later style consoles, a single blue connector instead of three white ones of the '96-98 models. It'd be plug and play for 99+ models, but would need mods for '96-98 models.

thanks gents, i was able to find the OPs ph number on his FB page and i texted him yesterday and confirmed 99s are identical. he even helped me with what to expect in routing this thing (my other main concern).

I stand corrected! I have a non-sunroof 4Runner (and FMU!), so no personal experience. I did do a lot of research on the FMU specific part of the wiring though...

I do, though, have a generally non-working FMU and sunroof housing that I would be willing to part with fairly cheap...

Hello everyone! I have just completed designing a Scangauge2 mount for use with a JDM Field Monitor Unit. This mount is completely designed and 3D printed by myself.

I realize not a whole lot of people have FMU overhead console standard in their vehicles, but they are easily found on eBay for around $30, and then you can install my mount into it.

I also used a simple ethernet extension cable for this to be able to hide the cable under the a pillar trim and headliner. If you'd like one for yourself feel free to PM me here or find my page on facebook: 2CM - Chris Chandler Making & Motorsports.

There is some modification you will need to do on the scangauge itself and those are the last two photos. It’s a pretty simple straight forward mod that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes with a dremel or even a file. You just need to remove the areas that are marked in silver so the SG can be sandwiched into the front plate. [MENTION=221997]Novashards[/MENTION] made a great writeup on the one he installed: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/254574-my-new-2000-limited-4x4-e-locker-3.html#post3268143

Chris,
Can you make one of these for me. I have a JDM Field Monitor housing into which I can mount my Scangauge II. You can reply here or text me at 772-418-1153 or email [email protected]. Thanks, Rob Cook
