In-Dash Inclinometer + Gauges

[RamAirZ]

way to bring back a 5 year old thread chris lol. That Tercel inclometer is gonna look cool though!

Didnt the Montero come with one too? Mounted right on the dash? Maybe it was the trooper? I cant remember which but I know one came stock with an inclinometer in it.
Very cool. I want to do something similar to mine. Great idea with the LEDS too.

How would you ever know? The seller did such a great job with the photography - I guess we'll have to take his word for what's inside dial #1.

What a cool set-up! The updated link to the Inclinometer the OP listed 5 years ago is here.

Nerd alert...

I was also reminded of spitfire5454's thread where he mounted his iPhone on the dash. Yes, there is an Inclinometer app. I know I have a little program for my HTC (Windows Mobile) that also uses the built-in accelerometers and acts as a level. I think I'll have to do more research tonight and try out one of the other programs I found.

Actually, the list of vehicles with factory inclinometers includes: pathfinders, old 4runner/tercels, troopers and the montero. Some of the Old FJs had em, as well as the new FJ has it available. I am sure there are a handful of others, but I know the above ones had em. I didn't realize they were so expensive, I walked past a montero that had just put out in the all yo ucan carry yard, it was still there, by the time I was done and decided to grab it, it was gone. Damn, would have saved me 70 bucks.

I just saw this, it might fit in the cubby or ash tray:

Don't need no stinkin inclinometer...alls you need is puckerometer!



I just got to know what you could possibly be doing in a TERCEL that you would need an inclinometer in one?

Search "Tercel offroad" on YouTube. Effin' crazy.

I've got them in my Pajero (Montero). I've lost count how many times I've wondered how far I can get the needle over during a severe lean! Got it up to 40 degrees, but my puckerometer then takes over and stops me going further

The Dodge Raider had it too (but since it's the same as the Montero, you've already listed it anyway).

HAH! I saw a couple Raider's for sale here on Craigslist a while back!

This thread has made me wonder.... I noticed that these inclinometers seem to warn about exceeding 30 degrees in all directions. Is that the maximum safe limit for the VX? Less?

I think that is just a general safety thing, I am sure I have had mine past 30. Gets a little scary, I had a guy hang on my door frame when it got a little tippy.

AH! I wondered if it was just a general recommendation since everything I saw for all vehicles was set at 30 deg. So what section of the classifieds is the best for hiring someone to act as ballast? Hey, "How many engineers does it take to act as ballas.... " Oouucchhh, yeah, I'll shut my pie hole now.... sheesh.

If you like the Niken model here is a review with a good photo shot of the unit with the backlit on. Pretty neat toy I think

If anyone has an iPod or iPhone, there are several inclinometers in the appstore - some free.
