Its a nasty day outside and I was bored at lunch so I figured I would share a picture of my Aristo Steering Wheel, Airbag, and TRD Gauge Cluster.

Here is a close up pic of the cluster I took one night. The cluster does not look THAT green but for some reason it looks like this in pictures.

Awesome!! I wanted to get that cluster for a long time, but I would need a conversion chart first to know how fast I am going and avoid speeding tickets.

Thanks guys. I wanted to post pictures because I could never find any on here and had only seen it on the TRD website.

On eBay actually. Im always searching for odd things and saw the cluster and HAD to get it while I had the chance.

Put it this way, I know practice the multiplication table for 6 almost everyday. Its all good.

Yeah, I saw that too in that pic. Usually it isnt though. I did have to get a Dakota Digital Tach Signal Interface to get the tach to read correctly because it was off also. You can see the low tach in the second pic also.

Nope, because the Aristo is a 4 speed the lights other than P-D are off by one. When I am in drive its fine though and everything still works normaly.

There were other little odd things here and there I had to do to get the cluster to work as close to the stock cluster as possible but all worth it. I love firing the car up and seeing TRD right in my face. It helps keep me on track with my plans for this car. Daily motivation.
