Im curious if anyone has converted their HDJ81 from kph to mph. I happen to have a spare cluster from a 94 fzj80 and was wondering if i could swap the speedometer or if id have to mess with the sensor on the tcase. Thank you in advance!

i dont know if you can just swap clusters diesel is going to have some different warning lights and the tach will not work. i would see if you could just get a mph skin to go over the current speedo

Thats what I currently have. Im wondering if the mph skin will match up or if the tcase speed gear is different from a US model

Had a couple of drinks.. saw a couple of things
this is bigger than a breadbox. Quick and dirty? just put one of those old garmin units on the windshield that has mph on it. The in-depth land cruiser black hole to do this correct would require the correct cluster and maybe some speed sender units inside the t-case or tranny. pretty sure there are some OGs on here who have done this but with parts already scarce as it is. the garmin is the best bet.
that i dont know, you could swap the sin and double check the speed by sticking a gps on the windshield and seeing if theres a significant difference
I’m attempting that exact thing. So far it’s a fail. There are two extra screws on the HDJ81 speedo that make a connection for [I don’t know what!]. I confirmed the 95 speedo is good. Swapping the whole cluster didn’t work either.
A comment below mentioned stickers. I may have to go with that
Is there an available skin for the hdj81? Km/h to mph?
I swapped a surf before. LC should be the same or similar. the extra screws are for the timing belt odometer. it can also be swapped to the MPH cluster the only wrinkle is that i think the timing belt odometer will now tell you that the belt needs to be changed less often. there are a lot of bad speedos out there with capacitor leaks you say "the 95 is good" is that the kph or mph speedo?
i just painted over the "unleaded fuel only"
