I have been looking for a descent inclinometer. Most I've found are either very cheap and not so well made or quite expensive and not intended for off road use. I remember reading about a digital one made for off road called the RAD-1 but can't find them for sale anywhere. Any suggestions???

I can see how this would come in handy. Someone ask me how steep the hill was I never know. But this thing you can tell. Kool.

I'd also like to know the actual rollover angles for the pioneer. I've thought about hooking a winch to the roll bar and pulling until it gets unstable but that could end in a disaster as well.

Just have winch to catch it going the other way with just a small amount of slack. Let one in and the other out at the same time.

Not a bad idea. I would like to know the rollover points also.

I've seen that one but it only goes to 35 deg. I've had mine pretty close to that and I'm pretty sure it'll go farther. I'm pretty sure it's intended to be used inside the cab. I'd like to have one that's at least waterproof. I guess for the price if they ruin you could just get another one.
