Not sure what the official Toyota name for those are, but it was a common option on several mid-80s Toyotas: pickups, 1g 4Runners, Terdcel wagons, etc. The gauge on the left (IIRC) is an altimeter, and the other two are inclinometers (pitch and roll). I think the gauge pod was supposed to complement the MAD 4-WHEELIN SKILLZ that your new Toyota was capable of.

You can find complete pods on eBay fairly regularly, but like the SR5 instrument panels, they're way overpriced.

It seems like many of the JDM imported trucks (not landcruisers) have them, as well as the 4Runners. If you can find an importer in your area, chances are they would have parts and parts vehicles.

They came with SR5 4Runners and some SR5 pickups in the 80's.

They're not that useful, when I'm close to flopping over that is the last thing I'm looking at :D

Ha no doubt well i just like the look of em
I heard they will work as a barometer aswell,,
Where i found this pic he had a tip on how to tune these to make them function even more..:)
Their is a Altitude meter in the cluster aswell which i think could be very important if you need to be adjusting say your carb to different altitudes when out on safaris in the mountain range 4x4 conditions?

Anyways its just something vintage i thought was interesting to have So if one comes up in Ebay ITS MINE DONT BID!!! lmao haaa haaa

Maybe, except that the vehicles equipped with them would be EFI or diesel, and those diesel carbs are a real pain to set up...
