I am sorry to leave everyone hanging!! "yes" it can be done and it was awesome. Newbie, or not, I know w/out pics "it didn't happen". I filmed it, busted my phone, work deadlines, etc. I will redo/repost video, HD, 3D, whatever it takes to redeem myself. The peer-pressure is intense! Feel like I'm back in HS. I honestly didn't think anyone really cared and it really was kind of anti-climatic.

I thought this was a real thread about angles that a jeep can take before it rolls. If anyone cares, I downloaded an i-phone app Inclinometer or clinometer whatever you want to call it. Smitty-built makes it. $1.99 Really makes the wife feel at ease when she can watch the dials and gain a mild comfort level with my choice of unusual driving terrain. Also has a audio signal that warns you if you get close.. I really dig it...

Oh and as for the Land Rover course - I dont know that I would even slow down for that little thing. Your jeep can do it no problem. Probably even better if it is stock as your center of gravity is lower. I wouldnt even worry about discos. Discos only help when you articulate as in the axles are not at the same angle. It will feel weird if you have never done similar off camber stuff before but it will do it.
edit-Dang it I couldnt make it all the way to the end. Anti climatic would be right. It will go farther...

Now you need to try some trails...Get with a local group or club to go with so you can learn what your new Jeep can do while having experienced off roaders to help guide you...
