So after my last trip to Carnage Creek in Colorado, I decided it would be a good idea to have a clinometer. For safety and personal assurance. See Attachment. Anyway, how can I find out what angle my truck can handle without rolling over? And no, I dont want to do the trial and error idea. I have a 1995 F150 Longbed Standard cab. Thanks

 

i really have no idea, but i had to respond to the number of people holding on to your truck trying to balance it. well if you get some bigger freinds you wont need all the skiny people hanging on. sorry i could not help i just had to throw that in there

 

Yea that's the Four Wheel Club @ CU. They're a bunch of freshmen. What do you expect. At least they have a couple of seniors, like myself, to keep in line. I just wish I had the parents to support my rig that they do.

 

doesn't it say in the owners manual how much of a side incline can be handled? if not maybe the manuf. of the clinometer can give you some info.

 

An actual clinometer is pretty expensive. A cheaper way to go would be the dash clino-idiot light.

When it senses less than eight freshman hanging on to the side of your truck, the light comes on.

 

actually if it works like a normal idiot light, wouldn't it light up right after you rolled the truck?

 

Steel Horse makes a pretty good clinometer that sells for $20. It has rolling and pitch. I'm sure there are better ones that sell for more but this one fits my needs. Thanks for the laughs none the less
