I've done a little research and found discussion on range Rovers but not the lr3.
What's the quick answer to the maximum degrees an angle can be for the lr3? Taking some family to the river this weekend and want to research the slopes there and make some people crap their pants.

Thanks!

 

I THINK....like 45 degrees momentarily but 35 degrees continuous. For the straight-up climbing. Side-slope I think is 35.

 

That's what I've read about the others. Sounds like it's the standard. I also read that it's hard on the motor to do it for too long at a time. Something to study for sure

 

I always read/heard the side slope max angle was 45 degrees, no clue on straight up/down. They do that insane downhill at eastnoor, but I don't know what the angle there is.

If it was able to do 45 degrees side-slope when new from factory, with thicker tires, any amount of lift, roof rack/roof load, it has to be less.

RE: hard on the motor, yes. That said it was designed to try and mitigate failure, one reason the oil sump is so large is that they wanted to supply enough oil to the engine on an incline.

 

Yes, it's one thing when static but very different when actually moving. I've never actually measured the angles I've had my truck to but you'll have people nervous well before you get the truck to the actual tipping point.

On up/down slopes your bigger challenge will simply be traction before you worry about flipping.

 

The side-slope capability, in terms of angle, is less than the straight hill capability. I think the LR3 can do near 45 degrees, per the Physics, but I don't think that that's the stated capability per LR.

As for passenger pucker-factor. Get to 25 degrees and they will be freaking out.

 

Ha cool. I had it more than 25 a while back and I thought someone was going too need new panties! That was my step daughter though. I'm ready to take some friends now. Can't wait!!!
