Clinometer/ Altimeter my Tacoma on gauges
[IMG][/IMG] A few weeks ago I installed a Clinometer/ Altimeter in my Tacoma and I have been looking at the Pitch and Roll gauges and thinking....Why not use pics of "MY" Tacoma on them?
Been doing some playing with pics and I have the size down just right. Now I'm thinking of useing white contact paper to print them on and then I can just cut them out round at 1 3/4" and peel and stick.
Also been thinking about making the back ground on the pics behind the truck black. What do you think? Mike

The average vehicle roll will be at around 22-25 degrees for most of us. some vehicles can take up to a 30 degree before there is a danger but I would stick with 25 degrees. Check out Gryphon Group Security Solutions website, I have been to there driving course and they have rollover simulators and they let you 'feel' when you're about to roll over. It's an expensive course but pretty awesome...
Curious to see the pics...

nice... my excuse is boredom... remember you CAN go past 30 but in a stock vehicle that is the margin of safe travel and not worrying about a rollover. Toyotas can take a rollover anyway; had a diesel Hilux roll off a narrow mountain road and fall 20' into a stream on it's side; broke the glass and a few dents but after we pulled it out it ran fine
Also I was wrong about the 22-25, I remember now it was 27 being the 'average' for a truck/suv

When it comes down to it, angle just gives you an idea at where you might roll at, knowing where your center of gravity is will tell you when you are going to roll. That point is when your COG is outside the foot print of your truck.
