I have been wheeling a long time but always have had a severe pucker problem when getting on side hills. Logic leaves me at this point, I can see the trail and know vehicles that are not as capable have been through but I still sweat bullets anytime one side is 6" higher than the other. So on a stock runner w/ 31s or 33s, what angle should I really start to worry about a new paint job?

 

Pretty damn far over!

 

You`ll worry about more than a paint job. Reminds me of last summer when i was crawling up a smooth rock face and broke traction, truck went 90 degrees and slid down and teedered on one side for a few seconds. Told the girlfriend that if she wasnt in the truck with me i would have went over for sure...she didnt take that too well hahaha.

 

my PU has an angular "pucker point"... it's somewhere between "whoa man, she's lean'n", and "OH $#!@!"






I have reached the "pucker point" before, while towing a trailer down a trail and it slide off an embankment, taking me with it about 5 feet... I got worried when my front right tire came off the ground as I was leaning to the left...

 

u should find out and tell us, mine rolls at watch this

 

lol mine rolls right between "Oh we got this" and "How are we looking on your side?"

 

she will roll when your center of gravity falls outside of your wheel track

 

Usually right after "hold my beer and watch this"

too many factors to tell you exactly what angle you will roll at, but you can get close

 

My stock 84 pickup truck has been over 45 deg many times. Just don't make any sudden moves. I watched a pickup truck that was flopped over get put back on its wheels, and the tipping point was close to 60 degrees.

 

...i need to get an inclinometer

 

me too, if you find one for a good deal let me know

 

anyone who wheels enough knows the limits of thier rig, get out and wheel more, and u will soon find out, inclinometers are a waste of money, might as well get some 20" rims while your at it

I used special characters, does that count?

 

()($*@)!(@#*$#*$%*#$( yes.

 

i think its 89.9 degrees before it flops

 

hey when it happens it happens, it was said before, you need to get to know your rig. i push mine all the time, if i roll i just hope i land back on my wheels!one time i was havin soo much fun wheelin the only thing that told me i should stop goin up a hill was a pop spilling in between my legs. Everyone made fun of me and said i pissed my pants cuz i was so scared goin up the hill. I know my passengers were since they were yellin "I want out!!"

 

Forgot to measure before I flopped it LMAO!

 

Ask Dean (SR5) i hear he has first hand knowledge with rolling 4Runners
