Land Meter - anyone use one of these?
Didn't know it existed until I was browsing through this guy's Flickr photostream and this Land Meter gauge contraption was mounted in the foreground of his photo:

Still searching, but so far only seeing them sold overseas. I like the concept. |

Those who drive 1st Gens are very familiar with these--they were an option from the factory in those early Runners.

I lived in Japan for 3yrs and I saw quite a few of these come as standard equipment on just about every 4WD sold there. Even my Delica, which is a van version of the Montero had one! I've also seen a few aftermarket digital ones, but I don't remember the brands. They're out there!

hmm that reminds me I have one I need to pull from a montero that has the real compass, an altimeter, digital temperature and I think angle?

Does anyone have a picture of the Smittybilt clinometer mounted on a 3rd gen? I would like to get one but I am trying to get a feel for how big it is and where it can be mounted.

Smittybuilt also has a pretty nice smart-phone app called Clinometer. With a nice cell phone mount it works great!

this is just like the one I have but the two outer ones are switched. I gotta go play with it and see where it could go. turns out they are separable.

damn I just found out that thing has an air locker and compressor too. |

The locker probably won't do you any good, but hang on that compressor - that wants to go under your hood. :)
