Wouldn't this be a better Tilt Meter instead of the 45 degree tilt one? It seems to have appropriate markings for what we need.

Didn't know it wasn't damped. Thanks for offer Phil, but like you said it's probably not very useful because of this. I already have the 45 from TD.

I must have gotten confused reading the other Tilt Meter threads before starting this one, as they mentioned something about 22-23 degree max tilt.

Ditto on everything Phil said. The fore/aft slope detector on any I've seen (except for the typical side slope mounted sideways) cannot be properly dampened and are grossly inaccurate.

I have a 50 degree mounted on my upper console for the incline/decline and never really pay any attention to it. I do glance at the side slope at times, especially when the washer fluid is running out of the DS sprayer all by itself.

Many people start getting uncomfortable at 20 degrees, others don't realize that they are about to roll, so it's a nice marker to have at times.

Hey PhilD,
If you have the inclinometer to 45 degrees.. I'll take it off your hands. I'm in Colorado 80104.
Lemme know!
