There is a pretty steep hill on the local trail, I want to try it but I dont know how vertical I can get without eating it... I'm probly giving my Jeep less credit then i should but, I thought I'd ask the more expierenced. If you have criticism save it, I'm just asking for advice.

any ideas on the angle?

Phishjeep

Brochure lists it at 60 degrees. Interesting tidbit, but the Hummer advertises a 60% slope. % is never used as a measure of angle in any text book I ever read , but 60% of 90 degrees is only 54 degrees, so I guess they are trying to compete with the Jeeps again.

If you're lifted, of course that may change.

The 60% is referring to grade, not angle. A 60% grade would mean a 6' rise in a 100' stretch. Pretty damn steep. Railroads use the same system. My brains not big enough to figure out how that compares to the Jeep's 60 degree claim.

I would play it conservatively and figure you can safely handle 50 degrees with a certain margin of safety, lifted and equipped as you are... if the hill is THAT steep, I'd love to see some pics of you conquering it!

Its beaten dirt, which tells me two things someone else is doing it and its possible.
