Does anyone use a Clinometer? If so how do you calculate the angles for your JEEP. I know lifts, spacers and tires all contribute to the factor. Thanks!

 

....Yes I do.

No I do not calculate angles as they are hard to get from varied terrain.

What I initially did was to see how the pucker factor compares to where the actual limits are.

For roll, depending on your experience, many people start to rethink their line when it goes to 25 deg.

As for incline and decline, we'll have to wait for MOAB but it's hard to flip the JK end over end unless you're really stupid with the throttle.

 

In stock form, the JK can do a 40 degree side slope and climb a 60% grade. This all can change when not stock though.

 

Are you sure that's not supposed to be 60° climb?

According to

http://www.onlineconversion.com/foru...1129049105.htm

a 100% grade would be a 45°. That'd put the 60% @ 27° and it seems like the JK would climb ALOT steeper than that.

 

Yes, my bad, climb is the word.

 

I'm wondering about your use of the % instead of °, though. % makes it a lower grade than °.

 

Well, according to the Jeep literature, it says "Grade capacity: 60 percent". The pic that accompanies that statement clearly shows a JK climbing at a 60 degree angle. All I can tell ya!

 

Nothing freaks me out more then off-camber stuff Cool pics though

 

Thanks for all the information. And I would need new upolstrey on my seat if that was me on the off camber....

 

I think RubyDoo tries to max them out.
