Hilux/4Runner Clinometer

Post by ToNkA »

How rare were these? Did they come on particular models?

Was going to use the housing of one to fit my aftermarket guages for the new engine.

They were available in series 1 4runner SR5, A differently housed version was available in some middys. The Series 2 Surfs can also be found with auxillary guage pods - although the recess for them in the dash is on the passenger side.

I scored a set from a wrecker out of a series 1 & fitted them to my series 2 - the other half was exhibiting an irrational fear of side slopes. The "Scream-o-meter" helped to put things in perspective

i guess so. they just sit (glued or screwed, unsure of which one) on the dash in the little recess.

It depends on the model of truck you have. A series 2 Surf, like the series 2 4Runners, & 89 - 97 hilux, has a recess in the dash on the passenger side. This recess is where the clinometer fits. The previous shape hilux / 4runner has a rectangular recess in the middle of the dash, adjacent the instrument panel. So the outer housing for the clinometer package, & Facia shape are different between models.

They attach via 4 bolts through the dash into a metal baseplate in the guage assembly.

Mine is from a series 1 4runner. I made a false base from aluminium and simply attached it to the dash mat with cable ties.

my 88 SR5 doesn't have one, and i was a little dissapointed. may look into getting one later on, just to make the dash look a bit more substantial.
