I bought one of those cheap clinometers the other day and am planning on mounting it under my ash tray--like Corey did with his original cliometer. Not as elegant as a factory one, but it works!

That is another bogus one.
It will work in a 4Runner, but it's the Tercel model.
Note the guage on the far left.
That shows when it's in 4WD.
The 4Runner clinometer has an altimeter there instead.
This guy is trying to trick people into thinking it's the 4Runner one.
There was another guy doing this too, but he got busted, and now he words it that it came out of a Tercel.
Also see this post.

I, too, was thinking of buying a small generic one to put under the ashtray. Like so:
$21 @ performanceproducts.com. The problem is that the company that produces these, for some reason, has stopped production and this city (Edmonton) has not got any new clinometers in a month, forcing me to look at online purchasing.
I think Corey used this one before, any complaints with it? I can't see much going wrong with it though..

It does look like it was supposed to be there.
I did have to take out the whole dash etc. etc. and drill three holes in it so It'll have to stay in there.
All in it took 5 hours to fit, outside in the rain!!

It was just real hard to read it down where it was.
Having the Aussie one on the dash makes a big difference now, easy to see.
I only wish it fit as good as Kerrs.

You guys need to look in some aircraft junk-yards! (yes they do exist) Im shure that one could find an attitude indicator thats not air worthy for the price of a nice automotive indicaotr! Just plug it into your intake for vacuum and your more accurate then any of those crappy plactic things! You'd have gyros!!!
