Go to your local Toyota dealership and buy one

Okay... I found this :




It looks like it would work very well... BUT... I don't see a US distributor.

Looks nice, probably made in china, I am sure there's a US one of it...keep lookin Rob

Yeah... its boring at work today.

I found a bunch of 'em on Ebay.

Ebay search results

That one comes on the new FJ but if you don't need the temp gauge that jeep one on ebay would be the closest to it. I haven't been able to find that ball style anywhere but on that FJ one.

i think ill ask Neo if i can take a test drive in one of those things , he can rip it off the dash , think they would miss it

I have been looking for one to mount above mirror. No luck.I would like side to side angle.

Maybee Ill do some midnight auto at the toyota dealer

I think I'm just goint ot get the lev-o-gauge from trail duty. The search for something better is turning out to be too much of a PIA...

ok this is how i mounted the cheap $10.00 one . i like it . got to 30 degrees today on the happening

look what BABHUMV set up in his . Nav , clinometer , camera , c.b. , ipod . lots of cool toys . i saw it today at the happening and got these spy shots

It looks good there for side to side angle
What do you do for front back angle ?

442 , no gauge for front to back. just concerned about roll over . if i get past 35 to 37 degrees i need to start making things better before they get worse

I really like that setup. How did you end up mounting it to the glass?

hey Darth , real simple it comes with double stick tape on the back just peel and stick . was thinking i could get another and mount like 442's and that would give front to rear .

I was thinking of getting another one and mount it like NEOCON1 and would get side to side.

. if i get past 35 to 37 degrees i need to start making things better before they get worse

I thought the H3 can handle 40 deg? you just playing it safe.

yea , 37 thats when you want to start being very very careful a good bump or sudden wheel grap that close to 40 could be very very bad but when its that close you want to be crawlin very lightly you will know it because your seat will be up da booty and with 35's have to be even more cautious

LMAO! You're going to love Moab and the side slopes. When your lev-o-guage pushes the max, that's whhen things get really interesting.

I saw those bought one its cheap and I ebayed it.
The one listed by DTHVLY Hummer Veteran looks good? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Looks ok but, it has a jeep on it!

A little pricey! the nicest one yet!

That's the 007 mobile!!

This one does both.

Lev-O-Gauge can be bought at West Marine.

We have the 45-0-45 and it was only 12 bucks. I mounted it on the dash and it works great for giving you a very good idea of where you are. However, if the pucker factor rises too high, STOP!

BTW, if you live near a West Marine, they have them in stock.

You can find the best gauge made here: http://www.trailduty.com/products/tr...tiltmeter.html

It can be mounted viturally anywhere due to it's mounting brackets, has pefect dampening fluid.

You can buy two. Mount one on the dash with the included bracket and then the other will mount flat without the bracket with double sided tape on the overhead.

There is a problem with that setup. First lev-o-gauges are a marine product, second they have to be mounted on the 90degree vertical plane level with the vehicle. Obviously, yours leans a little which affects the reading (not that it really matters as for you, just when you compare notes to what others might be doing). Third, the lev-o-gauge, due to this reason, has extremely limited mounting options.

The tilt-meter from trail-duty is simply the best, most accurate there is. The UK one, I am not familiar with, but the other mechanical gauges are junk.

lets say it is mounted perfectly vertical . when you are on an incline and sideslope together it would never be vertical . these marine ones will give a reading that should be within 5 degrees of true . when sailing you are pitching and yawing at the same time so should still be accurate +/- 5 degrees . i just want it to calm me down win the seat is up my a$$ but thanks for all the tips i will not go by gauge alone but is just another tool for having a rough idea of side slope degree . thanx again

No, you are right. It's a tool for use to compare from one situation to the next. Since your setup while wheeling changes (actual CoG) and whatnot, it doesn't have to be perfectly accurate. It's just something to glance at and give you an idea of where you are in the grand scheme of things because everybody's pucker factor differs.

I was simply mentioning that further you get from vertical in the mounting, the less accurate it will be. So much so that at one point, it will give you a much lower reading to begin with and then shoot to a high reading without venturing very long in the middle.

thanks paragon , you make some very important points , i do get so much great info from you old timers . this site is great for us newer guys to learn from you much more trail wise guys , thanks again

NEOCON1 I mounted it were you have yours with velcro.I used my ezpass bracket.I think it looks better there also.

I also put a piece of velcro on dash so I can quickly move it for foward /back angle.Just line up the velcro and should be level even if your not on level ground at the time.also can be moved back to windshied by lining up the velcro even if your not level.
I could always get another one ,there cheap .
Still looking for a good one that mounts easy that does all angles.

mounted on dash again also with the velcro mount you hav a little wiggle room for offset adjustments as needed.

Here is another on, I like this one... now just trying to find it in the states


Like to site
Linker

Ipe !!!! you have the best idea man very easy to switch and only one needed , very nice

mancil , those are some really cool ones great find man

NEOCON1,

The factory spec on our H3s state the side slope capability as 40% and that equates to 36 degrees. (Think of a flat surface as 0% and a vertical wall as 100% slope or 90 degrees. Then, 40% of 90 desgree is 36 degrees (.40 x 90 = 36). Keep that in mind when looking at your LEV-O-GAGE as you are traversing over a challenging terrain. Also, these inclinometer have an accuracy of around +/- 2 degrees under optimal condition. The optimal condition would be to mount it upright and in transverse direction to the forward of the vehicle. The way you have it mounted is not quite upright, however, it is pretty much transverse to the vehicle which matters most, so your inclimeter setup should work pretty good. As always, use your good judgement when offroading.

The "LEV-O-GAGE" Product has been around for more than 30 years serving the offroading industry. It was not made specifically as a marine product although they are sold for a lot of different uses. Here is a link to their products LEV-O-GAGE

DAYUM!!!! You so stupid, if you were to fall out a window, you would go up.

45 degrees = 100% slope
40% slope = about 22.92 degrees

Hey Paragon, you moron, did you flunk your high school geometry? Get your facts straight before you post anymore on the technical discussion.

By the way, I couldn't resist..., here's a picture for you, Paragon, you idiot.

Why no, actually I participated in the Presidential Math and Science Competition.

Your point?

Does the Coyote ever win?

Is that the one you told me about way back when?
