P500 Incline tilt meter

[Mudder]

Have an incline meter app on phone for tilt display. Wondering what is the general safe limit for side hilling? Know it depends on driver only or with passenger. Any experience?

Interesting. I was thinking about the same thing. I am new enough with the sxs that it always seems like it is about to go over even though I know it wont. it would be nice to have an actual reference.

It's very subjective.. and who purposely wants to test that!?

Your pucker indicator not working?

Thats a good point too. I guess it would just be nice to look down, realize I am being a p---y, and then mob on it. The switch from 4wlr to SxS is taking me longer than I thought it would. I usually have my 8 year old with me which makes me a little more cautious as well. Plus, I REALLY dont want to spill my beer.

I agree.. they're hard to "feel"

There's no litmus test for this. And where a 12* angle may be just fine at the moment, all it takes is a two inch rock, branch or above ground root on the high side to flip it.

There's more pics of a P5 on its side than any I believe. Everyone can feel the machine respond when it gets into a compromised position. Slow is the order when that happens.

Right. Then it lays over, no one is likely to be hurt nor the sxs.

Yeah, I put the nets up when I am out in the BLM. Around the neighborhood, once again it gets in the way of my beer. Entire thing is a different feel.

After so many years with an Atv and used to body lean, trying to get used to feeling on a side by side. Get the same feeling on the Kubota tractor when a rear wheel gets airborne! Rolled my FJ40 with my girlfriend 30 years ago...and still married to her!,

I think you're right...the two times I tipped I think it was due to not having the momentum to see me through...of course the one was a rut in the mud so I couldn't see it-LOL

When you get 2 wheels off the ground, it's time to back down just a little....

But is she still your girlfriend ?

My wife's tilt meter goes off before mine, and even more so if it is leaning her way. It is usually a very audible alarm in my right ear, along with grabbing my right arm. We do travel along the side of a number of hills. We just go slow and make sure we know what the tires are going over. The only "near rollover" we have had, was backing up in relatively flat forest area and the rear wheel dropped in an unseen hole. We were teetering on going over, but body leaning and pulling back out slowly saved it. With any new vehicle you have to get the confidence with what it can do. Gone are the days where I would push it past the limits.
