I was allways under the imperession these items were pretty much required for the safe - long life of our cars due to the fact that the stock units are/were so unreliable.
I have a few things i might add to the Runner and besides the guages a Tuff style Grant steering wheel and  battery disconnect are the others,..
Anyhow, I have the oil guage and a desent autometer tach in the R/T and wonder who else has what?

                 (figgured i'd put this here till the Mod-gods move it to electrical).

The RBYJ tach works great  :2thumbs:     

Sell the tic toc tac to the automatic drivers that don't really need a tach.... cause you really can't see anything but the clock anyhow.

Back in the "day" I used to have the trusty old Sun super tach II and a set of "Blueline" guages. Today, I guess Auto-Meter is the way to go. VDO also makes some good products.  :thumbs:

Do they make mechanical gauges that look stock?
