Re: how steep is to steep?
I was thinking that the verticle portion at the top would raise the front
too high, and let the TJ roll over backwards, despite the forward motion, or
the lack of stopping reward motion.

Re: how steep is to steep?
You know I have actually seen Jeeps pop over the other side when
the last ten to twenty feet was a truly vertical, not me. I have no idea
how that will happen just that I've seen it. I think what we are talking
about here would be no more than forty five degrees, or one to one, no
problem.

The object is to see how far into the red you can get the pitch on your
clinometer.

I never get pics of roll in the red because I am too busy crapping myself.

That guy continued full throttle even when sliding sideways and dug a
hole for his rear wheel making a precarious off-camber situation disastrous.
