JanMarie13 · « **on:** Aug 01, 2009, 08:31:23 AM »

We have a 93 Toyota pickup and want to put a tach in it. Just trying to get some ideas, here's what we're interested in:

1. What kind did you go with?
2. How big is it?
3. Where did you mount it?
4. Post up a pic of what it looks like where you put it.
5. Does it illuminate with the rest of your dash?

Thanks!

1. What kind did you go with?
cheapist thing I found at auto zone
2. How big is it?
small, very small
3. Where did you mount it?
in my 83 there a spot for a clock in the dash, now has a tach in it.
4. Post up a pic of what it looks like where you put it.
I would if I had time this morning, heading out of state latter this morning.
5. Does it illuminate with the rest of your dash?
why yes, it do

Thanks!

cleanest would be to find a stock tach cluster or the gayest would be to get an Auto-Meter monster tach with 10 grand red line and a shift lite

best pic i got of my 87pu.... just a small sunpro IIRC, works well and stays out of the way. And is a nice Solid mount thats easily removed.....I have an SR5 Cluster in my 4runner but im not 100% happy with it becuase i question the accuracy, not like it matters much...oh and yes it illuminates with my headlights, i hooked it up so that i can turn the light off if wanted because its pretty bright and im to lazy to change the bulb to a lower wattage...

The truck was in a accident and my knees hit it and broke it. I don't have the truck anymore it was totaled.

It's not, very far way from my face. It's in a perfect spot to grab and brace yourself when the trail get tough.
