Title: Tilt!
Post by: Ryder on May 24, 2008, 21:47:46

I have a 1991 Shogun.  I am trying to confirm the max sideways angle before rolling.  Does anyone have this kind of info or know where I can find out?

Cheers

I have never found any specification as I guess it depends on how many people in vehicle etc etc

but I have had my Delica showing 40 degree's on side slopes with just me in it !

Land Rover quote30 degree for a defender....

I have rolled Dicsco's in the past so try and avoid side slopes were at all possible !

most places quote 30 degrees but ive done about 40 in my sportrak and survived, id imagine you could do that. anything over 45 (!) is asking for trouble.

My truck in this pic is actually on two wheels and came back down on to 4, however the angle of the pic is wrong to judge what how many degrees it's at.

Must say though I prefer being on this side to the other side — for some reason it's more unnerving being up high and looking down

I think its 42 degrees but i dont like side slopes at all.

a brief incident where i was driving a side slope and i started falling over before the two wheels that were left on the ground slipped down the slope and brought the two airborne wheels back on solid ground confirmed my fear of side slopes........ :shock: :D

I'm lead to believe it is 43 Degrees but it all depends on weight distribution. If you have a big roof rack on then it will go over a lot sooner  :lol: :lol:
