I am pretty sure we are able to conquer a 45 degree slope..maybe a lil bit steeper...but for some reason 45 is floating around in my head, ive never gotten that steep before....

Heya

I've been up a 38 Deg slope in my stock auto TD5..... Low range 2nd Gear at a military testing ground (So I know it was 38 Deg)

Wouldn't want to attempt the 45 Deg slope though......

If that Jeep can do it, our Discos are ready for the challenge. 45 degrees for sure.

A D1 in low range under constant throttle with low pressure on good tires can climb a steeper hill then the old family jewels will allow. Take pictures.
