Durable, simple, and easy to maintain, the 1980-90 Toyota FJ60 has become a favorite among overlanders, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors. Its timeless styling, bulletproof mechanicals, and global reputation for toughness make it a sought-after classic today. Whether tackling remote trails or cruising city streets, the 1980–1990 FJ60 remains a true symbol of Toyota’s legendary dependability and off-road heritage. Whether it’s powered by the 4.2L inline-six or a late model LS powerplant, adding the new RTX gauge system to the interior will be the perfect match. With two version available to mimic the 1980-87 theme or the later 1988-90 design, this direct fit instrument system will give you the standard displays and indicators plus a whole lot more information in the integrated TFT screens.
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.
