    Check same generation 4runner as your truck.

    The 84-88 4runner console fits well in my 88 truck.

    The gauge panel is made from the oem radio/ashtray face plate and the gauge cover from an isuzu trooper. The troopers have a three gauge pod on the dash. I fiberglassed the cover plate from the trooper to the toyota face plate. I can post better pics later if you want.

    Oh yeah, the seats are from a late 80's toyota corolla fx-16 hatch.

    No problem, thanks anyway:)


    Zwalker,
    I tried to take a pic of my setup with my iphone this morning but it was too dark. All the damn money I spent on this phone and it doesn't have a flash.

    Anyway I took a pic of the extra parts I had laying around.

    this is a gauge bezel from an isuzu trooper on the left and ofcourse the truck radio faceplate on the right.

    I just timmed out that radio delete panel and the trooper bezel almost dropped into place. I had to trim the toyota panel just alittle more to get the bezel to drop in flat. Then I used alittle fiberglass epoxy on the backside to glue it in. Regular epoxy would work also.
    I had to ream out the holes in the bezel alittle to insert 2 1/16" gauges.

    When I have the cash, I have now been offered 4Runner seats and maybe the center console.:headbang: I have been dreaming about installing those since my girlfriend's dad's friend brought them up to me. If I could just get a new job, I could probably have them in now!:doah: Sice I have the 4x4, I may just see if he could sell me the inclinometer and altimeter.:thinking:
