Altitude meter

I wish Altitude meter came on my truck, like how they have temp/Mpg gauges standard. I would find that really usefull. Do any car/truck come with altitude meter standard or is that just on like Tom/Tom ??

 

My dad actuallly mounted an old altimeter from an old B-17 down by the cup holders and shifter knob in his tundra. Ill have to have him send me a pic.

 

didn't the older 4 runners (maybe 1986) come with a Altitude meter and a tip meter? Maybe you can find/buy one of those and find a place to mount it.

 

Just use a GPS...

 

buy a casio pathfinder watch with alt feature. pretty damn accurate, and if you ever climb out of the truck, you still now how much you climbed.

 

My '87 4Runner had an altimeter- as well as equally useless tilt and yaw gauges. Problem with altimeters is calibrating them for everywhere you go, and then figuring any adjustments for changes in weather (correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they work on barometric pressure...?).

I got an old Garmin GPS 60 CSX that does the trick real nice.

 

There is a Scangauge 2 code for an altitude gauge. It is only accurate to within 200 ft.

 

I didi not know we have MPG meter. Any specific truck model?

 

It would be nice if the truck came with an altimeter.
The old 4Runners came with a Altimeter/Barameter,tilt meter & slope meter.

 

Well thats nice to know. I know what im using for my 4th guage now. lol
