    I think it's an aviation term. I vaguely recognized the term, but I've also worked with a lot of Air Force and Navy pilots over the years.

    +1 - Something small enough to fit in the fuzzy hole area would be really nice, but no way I'm going to buy something that clearly has a Jeep profile on it. Maybe you could buy on of those vehicross.info bumper stickers and cut the VX out of it?

    So which vehicle gets the Toyota one vs. the Jeep one?

    Yes, I know my truck is a mess...had it all apart yesterday running wires for the inclinometer and the external CB speaker.
    Anyway, I got this from 4wheelparts, its a smitty built, listed under clinometer, about 16 bucks shipped. Its nice. I took it all apart, you can definitely replace the decals, just gotta find a small VX sticker...and getting the front shot is gonna be tough. As for the placement its perfect, I can see it through the steering wheel! Not that you use it very often, it a situation where you might need it, you aren't gonna be moving anyway. I ran the lighting off of the dimmer circuit, so it lights up with the dash and dims with all the dash lights. Nice product overall. If I can get the Tercel inclinometer to fit in the wife's RS, its goin back on Ebay.
    Underneath the inclinometer, that silver part is actually another DC outlet I use to store my LED flashlight, it looks like its part of the new toy, but its not...

    What's the issue with getting a front shot to replace the logo? Seems like you could take a side and front pic of your rig, then take the pictures to Walgreen's and have them made into the perfect size stickers. See link:

    Glad to help, can't wait to see how it turns out! Btw, might have been easier to get rid of the background if you took a pic with your white garage door in the background...

    In the ashtray is a scangageII, in the CD din is a dual outlet inverter, all the wires, that are normally not visibile run to a relay in the glove box, that is all powered off of a OEM isuzu foglight switch. In the multiport DC outlet is my cell charger, sirius radio and GPS.

    Dude, after uwharrie, we were home for 12 hours, and then we drove 1200 miles to KC. Now we are in Ohio, so I have not been home at all. I may have to take new photos and order new stickers, they didn't come out as well as I would have liked.
