inclinometer in a 40?

inclinometer in a 40? *** See post 14 for example

Has anyone mounted a 4Runner or JDM inclinometer in a 40 series? I had one in my old 4Runner 10 years ago and it always attracted attention.

I could not find anything in the 40 tech section when I searched.

Like this one?
If so, it's on Spector for $9.99.

Not quite

Thanks, but I was thinking of the type that came OEM on 1st gen 4Runner Sr5s. JDM FJ60 and Prados have nice ones as well, with incline, tilt and an altimeter.

Has no one retrofitted one of these to a 40?

And you'll never remember to look at it until it's too late. Drive slow and learn to trust your instincts.

Every time my incline-o-meter approached the edges I was driving my ass off. The last thing on my mind was the meter.

West Marine has that stuff too. Even on the sailboat we never paid any attention to it.

Yeah, I got mine from west marine, mostly to cover a couple holes the stupid PO drilled in there....

I have one on my dash. I want to put somewhere for uphill/downhill, but I don't now where I want to mount it. The passenger door would be ideal, but I run without doors in the summer. Might wind up mounting it on the roll cage bar that's over the passenger door.

hmm, this could tell you just how bad your cruiser lean really is...

There is one on e-bay, it is like the old SR5 4Runner units but smaller, check out e-bay motors under FJ40. There is a web sit that has TLC stuff that sells them as well but right now I can't remember the name.

This is what I was originally referring to:

eBay Motors: Toyota 4x4 Altimeter / Inclinometer (item 160235447098 end time May-06-08 08:36:16 PDT)

I think this is what you are looking for.(sorry I don't have a better pic right now)

 

[D-Cannon]

That is EXACTLY what I was talking about. I would love to see a few more pictures and how you did it exactly. Thanks!

They also came in Tercel 4WD's. I wish mine had one but it wasn't offered that year.

 

[FJ40-GARAGE]

Thats from a FJC.

Ends at 30° .........................

This is the only other pic i have right now, all i did was make a mounting plate from aluminum and attach to the dash with 2 screws from below. (Note that I do not have the factory dash pad) Then just run the lighting wire to the instrument lights.
