Hansman said, you have a very nice looking Hilux, nice colour, rims, bumper the whole package is beautifull.

Hello,

Thanks you everyone for the warm welcome. :thumbup:

I've had this truck for 5 years now and I still look forward to driving it all the time.

Is there a thread in this forum about installing an aftermarket oil pressure gauge while still keeping the low oil pressure light?

Thanks!

Welcome Miko, hope you will enjoy it here.

You must please post more pictures of your island so that we can get an idea what it looks like there and on what terrain you use your Hilux.


I have not seen a post for oil pressure gauge installation but will see if I can find any.
I have a 2.7 and I think on the oil filter casing is an extra port which have been blocked off which you can use. Look on your oild filter casing if there is anything.
I once saw a guy got a type of T-piece he screwed into the block in order to install the two different pressure units , one for the oil light and one for the gauge. Something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AEROFLOW-BRA ... 1258984830" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
