EYE_WHY Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I was browsing some subaru loyale pictures the other day and I came across one sweet loyale that had an inclinometer cluster in it from a toyota 4runner. Seems like a wicked good idea to me, anyone have one or thought of it or have any idea where I could pick one up? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I got one for my car, i'm not giving it up, I havn't wired it in yet so i don't have any pictures, but i got it from Mcbrat, i don't know if he has any more, but if he does, he'd be the one to ask.

EYE_WHY Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks, I'll hit up Mcbrat. What is the wiring for? backlighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The wiring as you have said, is for the back light, i do most of my mudding at night, so an inclinometer that dosn't light up is about as useful as a civic in the mountains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EYE_WHY Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 about as useful as a civic in the mountains HAHAHAHA, Thats great. Ya, a friend of mine had an inclinometer with an altimeter on it in his 4runner and he said it was extremly useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanurys Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm working on a digital readout device of selectable data to replace the clock in my GL. One feature to think about on my list is sensors to detect inclination. First on the list is to get the GPS receiver working so I can see all of that data, then external temp, then maybe inclination.

ghost Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Check out vehicles like old Isuzu Troopers or first gen 4Runners. I got my inclinometer cluster from one of those types of vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthewboerner Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've seen them in earlier models of the Mitsubishi Montero as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumblee Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 fj cruiser has one with inclinometer, compass, and thermometer. the gauges light up the same orange as my digi dash so i'm thinking of trying one but they are around $500 brand new....

swampbrat Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hey , I have that same unit in my suzuki. I got it out of a wrecked 4runner. It was made to be mounted straight up and down. It tilts back in the sammy dash so to make it accurate I had to jump a tooth in one of the gears. maybe this will help you graft one in your soob.

TheLoyale Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Gonna bump this thread with another addition. This is out of a '80s Tercel 4WD wagon. It needs to be reshaped so it meshes up with the curve of the dash to look as factory as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2labs Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have some information for anyone looking to source something like this from a Toyota in a junkyard. Those extra clusters came with the SR5 trim package 4runner's and Tercel's. If it still has the original paint, the SR5's have big broken stripes on the sides and the hood, so they're easy to spot. The 4runner cluster has an altimeter where the Tercel's 4wd indicator is. There's also a switch on the face of the 4runner clusters to kill the illumination, which I find handy when driving on unlit roads at night. (but not while wheeling, as was mentioned above) That Tercel cluster looks brand-new and factory! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Holy ancient thread revival, Batman. How many of you guys have smartphones? Just get a dash mount for it and use an inclinometer app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 How many of you guys have smartphones? Just get a dash mount for it and use an inclinometer app. You can't tell me you think using a smart-phone mounted to your dash is as cool as that picture is a couple posts above? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 How am I going to text and drive with the app hogging the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
