$15 and no wiring required. I don't use mine unless I'm trying to be on level ground for my tent.
not to mention you can tell if you are in a coordinated turn or not. :hiding:

How come we don't get this cool inclinometer like the 3rd gen tacomas get?
Because bro's in their tacBROma's need to know the angle of their dangle and soccer moms don't. Maybe its because we got rear disc brakes and coil springs

Next question, can the instrument clusters be swapped between the two? Because I'd go that route if it's possible.

Ahead or behind.. depending on how you look at it haha. The info and cluster displays on the taco are really nice I'll give it that.

ahead for the most part, but newer isn't always better.

It doesn't have damper but it cheap and easy to use:
And it stayed in place for over 5 years, not sure if I can remove it even if I wanted to : )

I hope nobody here thinks a inclinometer is actually very useful in the real world. It's an OK toy to screw around with.
Flops are almost always caused by weight transfers and the suspension suddenly loading/unloading via a drop or bind at the tire... The meter/alarm would only work on perfectly smooth gradual grades... It can't possibly warn you of what is about to happen.... Experience, spotter, scouting the trail... are your only useful tools.
You will never see one of these being used on a trail rig.

Experience is the key. Well said. People should buy an "experience" meter lol. The "Experiometer."

1) Expect this on the next 4Runner (if there is a next 4R, debate is still in the air and open).
2) No to #1? That's ok, we can all ask [MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION] for a future write up, LOL. :becky:
Honestly, it's quite cool.

Totally agree. The only situation I find it useful it's when I'm alone and a little off-camber It sometimes looks I'd say uncertain from driver seat. But inclinometer shows 15 degrees so I know I still have some room and I can carefully proceed. It doesn't replace common sense and experience of course.

I have to completely disagree! What else are you going to use to keep your sunglasses from sliding ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASH in that 75 MPH exit ramp?!?!
Think of it as a "stuff that shouldn't be on the dash" speed bump.
...I haz sarcasm.
