Inclinometer
Any feed back on how the inclinometer/compass/thermometer work?
Anybody maxed out the inclinometer yet?

I had an Inclinometer in my FJ -40 when I rolled, but didn't think to check it as I was tipping over! hahaha

Every time I make a trip to P&P I look for a 4WD tercel with an inclinometer. I'd like to have one in my 40. Just for fun.

Does anyone know if the factory inclinometer/compass, etc.
gauge set can be retrofitted to an FJ that didn't come with one?
I would like to have it but am not up for paying the $$$ for the
package it comes in.
Thanks,
John

I have not done it, but have been given a definitive "yes" by parts and tech. It's a plug-in.

I was told by my dealer that it is NOT available without getting the package it comes in. I haggled with him for an hour over it, and no dice!
I got the extra package in the end, and my instruments.
