Hello All,

I want get an Inclinometer similar to this one. What are the max angle for pitch (front/rear tilt) and roll (left/right tilt) on my DII????

Thanks!

 

I have one that measures side to side tilt. It's not accurate by any means and I wouldn't use it to gauge a roll over.

It's one of those ego/fun things to put in a car. That's about it.

 

You may want the LevOGage instead. Other LR owners might give you crap because that Inclinometer has a Jeep on it.

 

Dunno man excatly the numbers but on many an occasion I have slid down sideways from a dune on purpose throwing up a dust storm on the way, Its just one of those fun tricks we do here while off roading . I can easily say at least 45 degrees on side to side and much more in a nose down situation.

 

HAHA very true... I have found others similar to it that have a generic SUV silhouette. I'm still trying to find out what's the max degrees I can lean side to side before flipping... anyone know?

 

It's hard to put a number on the side tilt angle because there are so many variables that go into that equation.

the tires you are running
the amount of lift
tire pressure
how the truck is loaded- anything on the roof(?)
anything that isn't secured and can shift the COG (Center Of Gravity)
the terrain- dirt, mud, sand
terrain conditions- a root sticking out of the ground on the uphill or a rut on the downhill side will cause a roll over much quicker

You will feel the pucker factor in your seat before the truck will roll most times

edit:
Here's a case in point:
The first pic the RRC made it through without any problems.
Another RRC a few trucks later (with a spare on the roof) caught one of those root and flopped on its side.

Well the salesman at the dealer says 43% before roll over.
The LR web site in the UK, because the US site wont say because us Yanks are wimps and dont actually take out SUV's off road we buy them as statis symbols.
But the UK web site says for a Discovery III (LR3 to us) is 43% side slope.
As for climbing, 90% if you have a winch.
And as far as going down hill, she will go down any hill you point her down no matter how steep.
But I would stick to no more than 40% grade weather its a side slope or up and down.

 

Depending on tires, air pressure and the amounty of lift you have will determine the angle.
35 degrees and you will be sliding out of your truck, I wouldn't plan on any more then that. As for an insline 60 Degrees will give you terrible dreams but can be done on a hard surgace, if on a loose surface, or bumpy, I would start at 45 degrees and see when your front tires loose traction.

Here are the specs for a DI directly from LR.
The only things different with a DII are the approch and departure angles.

 

I found this on you tube while looking at offroading videos.
