Does anyone know what the side ways tip over angle is of the Gladiator. Using the on dash inclinometer at what degree will the Gladiator tip over? 20, 30?

I can tell you this, your butt will pucker before you roll. My Sport S with Rubi suspension and a 2.5" leveling kit sitting on 315/70/17s was at 34* and it felt like I was lying on the doors.

Speaking for my jkur, YOU will flip before you tip. Its very weird the first few times.

Now a word of caution. Side hilling is fun and all but be very very mindful of steering input. If you need to turn up slope, go slow and think about what might happen before committing big inputs.

Otherwise this might happen

We were at 26° roll just before this pic was taken. 3” front and 2” rear lift on 35” tires at 17psi, bed was loaded with our camping gear, 2 full 5 gallon jerry cans of gas and 10 gallons of water. Yep, it was a bit puckery.

That was down right stupid approach. i would never have attempted it in the first place.

That's why I present these little slices of WTF. I personally try to stay off of big side hills and weird terrain if I can help it.

Side hilling has hidden dangers that can ruin a day quickly.
