Nice!
You may want to visit the XDA Forum for some tweaking apps and getting sound out of the tablet and into the speakers etc.

Thank you all for your feedback!
It got me thinking and for the last few days I have been researching and wondering if Land Rover ever included any built in altimeter and inclinometer in its trucks?

While there may be more I found that Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi (thanks to Mark G's post) that included such hardware into the trucks. I think this would be a cool addition to that dash location. Will someone send me one that they aren't using. LOL

Funny you posted this, I just picked up a "Project" 1987 4Runner Turbo with the digital dash and inclinometer!

This was the day I brought it home ($900 and filthy)

Very Nice FloridaRover!
I like that oldschool digital dash and the center console handle.

Got my hands on one from a 83 Toyota Tercel Wagon. It actually works. I wired the lights to the radio and that’s it. Took a few extra images to share. Thank you Good People for sharing the feedback that got this inspired!

Why couldn't they have added those to the Disco's. Looks great.

That's a nice clean install.
I had Lev-o-gages on my trail truck and I can honestly say I never used them. Anytime I was in a hairy situation where it would have been neat to know what angle I was at my *** was too puckered and my attention to fixed on driving to worry about looking at the gauges.
