forward and side slopes + compass. if it had a hummer, it would be the cats rear

problem is with that type is that they are typically not dampened very well and will just rock back and forth.

Don't waste your time...

The first decent trail you are on will show you how worthless these tilt meters are.

I bought a special one for my first lifted Cherokee and dumped it after the first trail.

It will basically max out each direction every couple of seconds and you really wont have time to keep your eyes on it.

Experience will tell you when you are going to far - usually when you are going down hill, off-camber, and the front shock is fully compressed while the opposite rear wheel is 3 foot off the ground is a good indicator :)

of course, yer stupid

you don't need a compass either, I guess.

How about you stick to subjects you are more familiar with, like anal lube.

key word is "lifted"
it helps if youknow where yoy need to be. Hummer as stated 22 degrees. I got mone this week from trail duty and it came in two day with great service. Mounted it Today on dash with the cool little mount it comes with. Remember the dash cluster on the H3t concept with a levo built into the cluster with the pic of the Hummer. Someone needs to make it.
I can't find the pic.

I was in a meeting 2 years ago with the head of marketing at the time for hummer, he is either gone with Susan D. or what i don't know mike H. was his nmae. He said the H3 t was not going to be built like the concept. the concept has a one piece body. the said the h3 would be re-woked for a pick-up and that at that time the H4 was in mule form?? testing. The H1 deal cought me by surprise. they made me attend 3 diffrent h1 mgt. schools in 3 years. guess it didn't work.

I found out wheelin in Ga its too much trouble moving the level gauge, so 2 would be better.
Anyone find a clinometer that can mount from the back to the windshield(above mirror)
The ones on ebay show you can swivel the back flat for mounting ,but when I got one it wouldnt work as seen in there diagram.Resold it im looking for other options.level gauge seems to work and is cheap.

Why does my brothers VW have a clinometer and a air compressor,air lift and hummers do not?
He didnt want to hit the trails with it when in Ga,He went to the mall that day:D

I guess Ill get another level gauge and leave both mounted.

And on the dash for fwd / back angle.

I need a second one so I can see at a glance any angle.

Maybe I know a lot more than you m8?

Interesting post of yours a while ago...

"We didn't need to know your sexual orientation nor your preference for what prejudices you choose to have. In the future, should you choose to continue to enjoy our community, keep those things to yourself.

I think you will find very few posts exlaiming the heterosexual orientation of other members here. If you find something offensive, move on, it doesn't concern you."

Seems to me you might know something about the old anal lube.
Something you want to share? ;)
