muddfildvaynes Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Doesn't it need to be on a flat surface? Where could I put it.... under the dash in the cubby hole in front of the shifter that I dont use but that would be out of view.... I have the option of either a old faded maroon d21 inclinometer or a 96 4runner inclinometer that matches my interior better....

devonianwalk Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Cup holder. When my inclinometer (coffee) spills I stop my approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfftourRoadie96 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to be perfectly level, since you should be able to zero it out once it's mounted.....I have an iPhone APP CLINOMETER. Haven't had much time to mess with it, but reviews are Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If you don't use that 4runner one, (and I'm guessing it's a fCtory one?) I may have an interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have a Nissan Safari/Patrol inclinometer which was gonna go in the '98 using some custom fibreglassing... That would be the best option, IMO. Something like this could work, using a similar mounting system like GPS units: Niken Digital Inclinometer Or you can go this route, which is more compact and badass, IMO.

Tungsten Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 avoid digital, they are a pain in the ass to calibrate an analog inclinometer is always best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sure use the cover from that old faded maroon d21 clinometer! So remove the cover and send it to me then mount the clinometer in the cubby hole. As for the digital models, I personally don't need a clinometer I just think it looks cool! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I am at work right now and can't get the measurements but does anyone know in inches how wide that cubby hole is? What could I wire it into to work with the running lights? Edited March 4, 2011 by muddfildvaynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Is $95 a reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 So this is the one I bought.... most likely gonna put in in the cubby hole in fron ton the shifter.... take it out of the maroon case and build one to fit it there. I got it on ebay for $90 and the 4runner one is still for sale http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250781553210&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT The one I bought: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edicer2 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) i just bought one but noticed it has a hardbody picture in it instead of a pathfinder one. O well i guess hopefully it all works! Mine came with some clips and stuff that hold it on. install(pics from seller) I would install it the same but im afraid to touch my center vents ik mine are really brittle lol Edited November 2, 2011 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You can use some 360 degree LEDs in them and then they look amazing at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) that looks great i might have to invest in them? I have kind of changed my dash color but would like it brighter like that...did you get them at superbrightleds.com? Did you do it to your climate control too? You dont happen to remember what size bulbs they are and how many do you? Edited November 3, 2011 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser999 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You can use some 360 degree LEDs in them and then they look amazing at night. I see your Pathy fuel tank stays empty just like mine always seems to be....... However, Has one of these been mounted in an R50 yet? And what would one use to paint the covering to match their interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what would one use to paint the covering to match their interior? I just started it up in that shot as you can tell by the rising needle and the cold temperature. that looks great i might have to invest in them? I have kind of changed my dash color but would like it brighter like that...did you get them at superbrightleds.com? Did you do it to your climate control too? You dont happen to remember what size bulbs they are and how many do you? I remember all the bulbs and that's where I got them. I don't want to jack the thread so you are going to have to PM me about that. I may have started another thread on here about which ones to get.
