Only problem with a Clinometer is that you don't have a point of reference until you roll the Jeep the first time...I guess after that it could be useful. :twisted:

Or until you look in your Owners Manual and read what the max. sideslope is for your particular jeep...I'm just sayin is all.

I use one for finding weather balloon elevations/angles but it is hand held and you have to hold it to your eye. That would be kinda hard while wheelin. Looks like a coke bottle.

I've got one of those... Its pretty amusing.. But I find it actually pretty useless on the trails while under way. there is no damping in the mechanisms, so the gauges are constantly bouncing around. It works nice when you are stopped at a obstacle while people are furiously stacking rocks so you don't rip you bumper off...

I bet you could drain the fluid out and replace it with something thicker....maybe mineral oil?.....to provide some damping.
