Anyone ever install a first-gen clinometer?

I have a clinometer (shows pitch, roll and elevation) from my 86 4Runner and I'd like to mount it on the dash of my 02' Tacoma. My question is, has anyone done this? I'd like to see how it's going to look before I start drilling into my truck.

I did a search and couldn't really find anything, maybe i'm looking in the wrong places?

Either way, thanks guys!

Here's a pic of the clinometer.

Interesting. I don't want to mount mine down there as it will be out of my line of sight, and it looks ugly. Not to mention I have the factory double din radio and intend to keep it.

Thanks for the link though!

 

useless bling gizmos... IMO

If you can't tell what yer junk is doing, by the seat of yer pants...
thar's no hope for ya.

And in the time you've spent eye googling yer doohickey...
you probably could have saved yer pos

 

I agree, but this is going in my Tacoma which is my DD not my wheeling rig, that's what the 4Runner is for.

 

I had one in my 83 toyota pickup but i think in the new tacoma's it would block a lot if your vision.

 

There is a pretty neat app. for that. You can even use pics of your own truck.

 

Yeah good point, I need to place it on the dash and see for sure.

Ehh never a fan of apps

Clinometer, Inclinometer, Altimeter you get the point.

 

I have one from my old 4WD Tercel wagon, pulled out before it was junked, but it's still sitting in a box somewhere (and no altimeter on that one.)

 

i bought one of these:

$17 Sun Company 201-F Lev-o-gage Inclinometer | USA-Made Level Gauge for Off-Road Vehicle, Jeep, Truck, RV, Camper, Trailer, or Boat

http://www.amazon.com/Company-201-F-gage-Inclinometer-Gauge/dp/B00042K694

And stuck it next to the center-left vent, since all i care about is left/right pitch (?) and not front/back.

 

Yeah I like the truck and 4Runner ones better but I already have one.

Yeah not really a fan of those, I like the look of the 80's 4x4 ones.

 

Bump for more opinions.

Charcoal > propane.

 

Good god, who awoke this thread from 10 years ago?

I have one, it’s from a JDM Hilux Surf (or Fortuner? I think they’re called Fortuners instead of 4Runner in the Southeast Asian market)

 

This dude, for some reason

 

OP walked off with that from me and a few other goodies.

Expensive Lesson.
