70 Series Speedometer

[Gun Runner 5]

Is this style of 70 Series speedometer (both mph & kph) available new?
Thanks

Cruiserworld over in Europe has the MPH speedometer listed for 70 series but when I asked him if it would work for my FJ73, he said no.

I'm told I need a Canadian BJ70 faceplate.

I wish I could get a MPH faceplate one for mine but there are a lot of other things I want more first. Good luck on your search.

It's not my highest priority but I'd like to have one none the less.

I used the face off of an 80's 4runner speedometer. The one that doesn't have a tachometer in the dash. Works pretty well

Nice, but really, 100 kmph = 65 ish, LIES if you get it to go faster :-D (at least for the non turbo guys)

You're the only non-turbo in this thread!

Don't forget my powerful 3F, non-turbo of course.

No "E" either.

You just had to rub salt into the wound Dan.

3f 155 bhp (157 PS/116 kW) of power at 4200 rpm, and maximum torque of 294 N. m (217 lb. ft/30 kgm) at 2200 rpm
1hz delivers maximum power of 96 kW (129 hp) @3800 rpm and maximum torque of 285Nm (210lbft) @2200 rpm.

Torque wins races (but you probably win on top speed )

One averages 20mpg, the other one doesnt.

How many mpgs do you lose through that slushbox

All the 4runner dash i see without tach also don't have trip odometer. Did you modify that speedo face to make it work in your 70?

Yep, had to trim it. Hard to see in the pic but I cut it just below the screws and just above the trip odometer. That's why it says MPH and KM/H twice. Haha. Doesn't line up perfectly but I had an old 4Runner cluster laying around so it was free.

I kinda figured that but I had to ask anyways. He does have it posted in the 70 series parts section of his site.
