You should take a pic of your 4Runner from the side and front then print that on a label and affix it to the gauge. Then you could see how close your own vehicle is to rolling over...

 

^^^^ yes thats what i've been planning to do the whole time. hopefully i can get together with my friend today to do some photoshopping, but who knows, im kinda sick so it might not happen. and to answer the other guy's question, it only needs power for the light, it is done using wheights and gears. thats all.

 

i can very easily make you guys a little 4runner image in photoshop.

just need to tell me what size it needs to be in order to print out properly.. either pixels or inches is fine...

 

they are ok. i have one in my p/u. they move around a lot when driving, especially during excel and decel. it says imm about to flip over from end to end! LOL but its cool. ppl get in my truck and ask wat the heck it is and i explain it to em. i still like the yota OEM ones. i wanna get but for now im ok.

 

My buddys old Dodge Raider had one built into the dash. It was pretty neat. It saved him a few times when he went off road.

He called it his "Tip-O-Meter".

 

well here is how it turned out. i'll post a pic or link for the high quality actual size one, for those of you who would like to print it out and use it.

 

very nice,,, i love it, was it hard to take apart ? i wanna do that

 

not hard at all, 6 screws total. and all of the gears and stuff are self contained, so you don't have to worry about loosing parts or having them fall apart.

 

KevyWevy,
sweet, thankx alot, ill print this out and do this to mine, its has a p-u on it, that looks good. do you remember what size ? or pix ? thankx again

 

Awsome KevyWevy, you have some real talent with photoshop. Maybe you or I or both could format this adventure into a Tech write-up. Looks Awsome.

 

hahaha i must say right now, it was all my friends talent. hes a master with photoshop and all those kinda programs. i sat behind him and gave some artistic input

oh yeah, a write up could be a good idea

 

Just wondering, where have you decided to mount yours. If you need some tips I tried about 4 places before settling with top of dash, just left of center. Took a little work to get it to read right though.

 

im thinking in the cubby under my stereo, but that would involve taking the dash apart and sawing the cubby apart and stuff, and i don't know if i really wanna do that much.

 

I was gonna go that route but I want to save that space for maybe a scanner or something else cool. Anyway, let us know when the link is up, I'm PUMPED.

 

ok guys, here is the link to the photo shop file. have fun!!!

 

Looks good guys much cheaper than paying $80-100 for a JDM toyota surf inclinometer with altimeter. This gives you a idea how the gauges look on a actual one.



This is one I found on ebay they appear almost every month on ebaymotors here is the link if anyone is interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting

 

It must not be working KevyWevy.

 

hahahaha what the? i think i forgot to put the link in. i wouldn't put it past myself. :pat: my excuse is that it was late, yeah thats it!

ok, I'll ask again.

I am looking into getting one of these ( I can not afford a toyota one) and was wondering, are these jeep ones like old WWI gunnery Clinometers? Is it none powered for it to work? is it based on springs and weights? and the only power needed is for the light? or are there sensors that need powered?
Thanks,
Todd
