Perhaps velco would be better than 2 sided tape then I could adjust to 0 degrees when I am on flat and air down my tires for sand, but then again if I air down equally or close to are we back to the slim margin of error debate again.
Thanks for helping out a newbie, hope one day I have some informaition useful to someone!

3 degrees or so on the meter is not going to be very noticeable visually. 5 degrees is barely noticeable as it is the division marks.
Get your truck to a relatively flat surface like your garage (which have a very slight slope) and then mount it at 0 degrees. Don't worry about any adjustments from there on out.
You really don't care much about the point at which the truck will roll because you shouldn't be venturing very close to that. The gauge should reallly just be used more of a reference than anything else. When you start to get uncomfortable note where you are and if it says 15 degrees and it's mounted properly, then you know you're a weenie.
Seriously, you'll learn each time out that you aren't in that bad of a situation when you hear a bunch of people outside screaming and you show only 30 or so degrees.
30 degrees on loose, bumpy trails is way worse than 35 degrees on slick rock. So you have to have common sense as well and just keep everything relative.
