In-Dash Inclinometer + Gauges

[JULIAN911]

It's looking more like a spaceship now.... the ashtray now has the inclinomter with blue LED, the bottom DIN location has 3 gauges: air/fuel, ODB2, and in-cabin air temp. The fuzzy hole has the digital clock.

For your seeing pleasure

Moon Buggy and all,

Thanks for all the compliments. You can get the inclinometer from jcwhitney, they only have one on the website so should be easy to find. I performed a little surgery on it by installing two 194 blue LEDs and hooking it up to the light switch so it would turn on with the dash light. The LED clock was also purchased from jcwhitney. The ODB2 scan gauge was purchased from Tone and it came within 2-3 days.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it

it looks awesome, just one question about the inclinometer, does it have to be hooked up to an electrical supply or does it come with batteries ??

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

[IRONVIKING]

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?
