If you match your tire size and gear ratio close to stock, it will get your speedo fairly close. If you do not want to go that route, then I am not sure if different gears are available for the toyota speedometers (like my old chevy) but if they are, thats another thing to try. My friend uses a hunting style GPS for his speedometer since his quit working. It is fairly accurate. Good luck! :thumbs:

I just had a buddy drive at different speeds (35, 55, 75) and I'd pace him, and note where my speedo was.  :thumbs:

Most GPS units will tell you MPH pretty accurately. Just another idea
