sweet... do you have a write up on how you did it?! it looks real clean install

 

Thanks!! Naw I don't have a write up on this install! I really had to shave down a lot of the inclinometer to make it fit in there. It was hard making the sealant smooth looking but I tried the best I could. If you guys have questions let me know, I'll gladly help!

 

Awesome JR... that's really cool... how much did you pay for those? Also, did you see that I retrofitted some H.I.D's in my truck! Later!

 

I just saw your thread right now and all I can say is WOW!! Thats really cool man!!! When I'm ready to do that I'll let you know, maybe you can help me out!! Well I got the inclinometer for $86 on ebay! Its expensive but I really wanted it!!

 

I think you have a steep driveway.

Looks good.

 

I like the CB placement. I think im going to get the Cobra CB that is comparable to size to that one too. Did you have to grind out the back of the ashtray compartment?

 

Yea I like my CB placement also!! You really don't have to grind/cut that much out! It fits real snug also, its almost perfect!!

 

Wow, cool! Did you use an inclinometer for the 1st gen or 2nd gen?

 

I like it down there where you put it.
Very clean install.
If you do a write-up on it, be sure to submit it to Moderator Bob, and look at the rules to submit in the Rules area.

Here is where I have mine, still in the factory overseas pod.

Where I have my Garmin eTrex is where I will be mounting my iPod Video.
It fits perfectly into it.
Then I will run the RCAs from it to my headunits CD changer inputs, and have some MP3s to play through the system at a later date.

 

SWEET! i tried that with a first gen clinometer and i had to hack a lot off the clinometer AND the dash. it is real rough.... a write up would be really nice. great work.

 

Hee hee thats great!

 

great install, looks clean!

 

look reall clean nice job. also lovin the cb mounting. exactly where i put mine!

 

JRunner dude, your avatar scares the crap outta me...

 

I like the job you did, looks real sharp and neat in the DIN pocket. I just mounted one in my truck yesterday (dash mount) (almost flush on the dash). I had to modify the plastic a little to fit the left hand drive dash. I also drilled holes in the dash so I could use the original mounting bracket (bolted right in) and a 3rd hole for the backlight wire to go thru (no visible wires). I do have an unfair advantage - I was in Japan and selling these units all the time, so I have a great idea of exactly where to mount them since I was removing them all the time. I am Chaser_Tourer on ebay, heck you may have purchased one from me? I need to get some pics and a short description of the mod, it is not too hard really.

I hope to see more pics of other installs, hey maybe we can make this the official Hilux Surf Inclinometer install pics thread? These are the 2nd Gen inclinometers (someone asked in an earlier post).

I installed mine on the dash. I just couldn't bring myself to cut up a beautiful piece of machinery. Yours looks pretty good!!!

 

I saw it in this months Off-Road magazine, COOL!
