P1000 Side hilling angle of the dangle

[ODAMO]

The P1000 states 36* but that seems like a static number. realistically what degree of off camber side hilling is considered safe before a flop or rollover with stock vehicle?

When you feel like your going to chit your pants.....

That's like asking what size tire will fit. Honda puts that number on a stock machine. Probably on a concrete hill with no slip. Just changing tires could alter that number. Being in slop on a hill causing a sudden dip in mud could flop it. That is such a difficult thing to put a number on.

agree, that cramping hurting feeling in your belly that makes ya wanna get out and drop your pants or go around.


that number is under a specific test, too many variables as mentioned above - if it looks bad enough and need a body on the side as counterweight, its steep\off camber.........

🤔......about 2° more then this 👇

And then...............you get this 👇

I’m pretty sure I get that cramping way before 36*
I should probably get one of those angle indicators like I had in my CJ-5 back in the day.

I don't think it classifies on its side yet. Your tires are still touching ground.

I always feel like that, even when sleeping.....

Flopped mine in slow motion first trip out. My pucker factor was much higher second trip for sure.

I’m just not used to 4wheel independent suspension yet. First sxs.

About this far, then you need the self-righting feature

A Lev-O-Gage helps me know when I need to pay more attention BUT, as mentioned, the tilt table number is static and our environment is dynamic. As my tilt increases, my speed slows way the heck down, trying to minimize the dynamics. Even at the slowest possible speeds, I'm still getting a lot of dynamic input making the tilt gauge little more than a pacifier.

As a solo rider, I have to be far more careful than Adam490 who has a crew with him who can pull him back on his wheels.

Short version - if you're riding with others, it doesn't matter as much as if you're solo.

The biggest factor in my useless opinion would be "common sense"

This may be the winner of the day! So accurate

Or .....if your buddy says i'll get back in AFTER you get through THAT ..............

Always turn down hill and hammer on it. I really don't know the angle but can tell you with the glass windshield, hard cab and full doors, mine is very top heavy. The Honda is way worse than the Gator I use to have.

I'm still learning the limitations of my machine, i don't do very much technical stuff just for hunting mainly. I haven't taken off the rear sway bar yet as others have but got me wondering, once the sway bar is removed, does that help keep the front wheels on the ground through some of the technical twisting stuff ????

Yes.
