My T-100 (w/ 4runner Inclinometer)

Figured I'd take some pics...





Need some bigger tires. To hell with these 235s....



Almost up to 200K... I love Toyotas


Breaker Breaker, watch out for them bears up the road... hahaha

Still need to finish hooking up the antenna



Now this little item is sweet. I pulled it from an old first generation 4Runner at the U-pull-it. It's an Inclinometer and altimeter. I'm sure most of you know what they are.

It works pretty good, but it's not 100% accurate because I mounted it on the flatest spot on my dash, but it's angled slightly towards me, throwing the axis of measurement a few degrees away from the X,Y axis of the truck. It's still pretty close.

Nice T, my brother has one. I like the cb mount. He used to run 33 mtrs on it w/ the stock suspension.

By using the adjust knob between the pitch and roll gauges you can set the pitch and roll gauges to be centred when your vehicle is on a flat surface. Also you can adjust the altimeter.

It's such a clutch spot. It fits perfect. I gotta fasten it better. I wedged a piece of cardboard between the dash plastic and the CB. lol

ORLY?


My driveway is sloped. I have it reading pretty close.

Ideally the inclinometer should be pointing straight at the rear cab window. The closer it is to the X and Y of the truck, the more accurate it will read.

There was a set of 32x11.5 R15's BFG's for sale for $400, like new. I think they'll rub on a stock suspension.

Do yours rub at all froggy? what exact size are you running?

I moved your thread to the T-100 section.
Great looking truck... the T with a 5spd is an uber-rare bird.
