Found what I think is a better version of the Mitsubishi Montero inclinometer/altimeter....This one had an electronic compass, in/out temperature, inclinometer, and altimeter. I have it next to a 1st Gen 4runner one that I also found at the yard.

If you grab this, you'll need the temp sensors (one located behind the front bumper on the driver's side, and other inside the headliner) and the doo-dad that lets the compass work (it's right behind it mounted on the dash up against the windshield - plastic rectangle shape).

this is one of the best threads here lets keep em coming
I am not sure I am following this correctly. Will f250 shocks with springs aka "coil overs" from a F250 lift a toyota pickup 2" ?
