rb42 Member Registered: 02/12/02 Posts: 1021 Loc: McKinney	Just curious... I took it to at least 20 degrees last weekend playing on some deep ruts, and wondered what the danger level was... I'm sure it changes with tires/lift etc... but I am still a stock 02 SC model. I don't remember it being posted anywhere, couldn't find it in a search. I know the entry and exit angles are around 30 degrees... -=RB42 _________________________ Happiness is found with a larger engine.

I was on a trail at the Superlift Park in Hot Springs, AR that routinely got out to 35 degrees. 20 degrees is usually nothing to be worry about.

Just got me to thinking... wondering how far it was till the oil pump started sucking air... if airbags go off when youre on your side... how much a new driver side mirror would cost to replace the crushed one... why I hadn't brought my camera... Amazing what goes through your head when you should be paying attention to the road. _________________________ Happiness is found with a larger engine.
