Inclinometer

rusty_tlc · 05-23-06, 08:58 AM

Any feed back on how the inclinometer/compass/thermometer work?

Anybody maxed out the inclinometer yet?

was playing in the sand and running up hills this weekend, and my son saw it get over 30 degrees but after that we dont know because we were busy concentrating on getting up the hill.

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.

I had a 4Runner with those and it was the best gadget!!!

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.

Yes it is. It'a a lot of work to intall it. I work at Toyota of Glendora and we did one.

It would have to be availalbe to buy by itself in case the stock one ever gets broken.

TOYOTABOONE · 05-26-06, 08:42 AM

It is available as a replacment part. I guess it just depends on how much you want to spend

toyotaisme, did you have to drill holes in the dash? it looks like you might have to.
