Depends Camo. It only registers up to 30deg, and depending on your suspension setup, center of gravity, speed and momentum, wheel location and situation, you might roll way before 30deg or way beyond 30deg.

But they're nice to have regardless.

Yeah, the pucker-factor usually will usually save you, unless you're like me and your balls are bigger than your sense of self-preservation...

Camo- it only works up to 30 degreese, and you can have it more than that. Ive maxed out mine in my runner. Both on the front and the side (scary, but didnt roll) I think 4crawler took his apart and made it be able to read more. Also you have to be stoped for it to read properly. Its pretty much just a neat-o novelty thing.

Edit: 4crawlers link

Well mainly, it looks BA to the maximum level haha

Yeah it tells you angles, and is actually pretty darn accurate. Also tells you the altitude if you have a later model one, and I can say driving up to the snow that thing was right on with the altitude signs. In my pic of my 4runner with a tire off the ground it was at 30 degress, but you know how crawlers do it, all you need is a rope tied to your car and someone can literally walk you through tight spots while your on the verge of tipping.

and it looks BA!!!!
