I believe its about 45 degrees before things start to go light.

All depends on your truck balance point though... :eek:

Yeah, tilting then, couldn't think of appropriate title :lol

I'm still interested in degree limit? (ish) :nenau

Edit: oh just seen the 45 degree angle.

Yeh I know the Trol's 48 degrees so 45 on the Terrano sounds about right since it's a bit narrower.

Let's be honest your backside is probably going to give up long before either of those angles are reached :lol

You wont need a mattress, just tip to the point of balance with a check strap :thumb2

Rear axle? Might just be the vacuum hose.

Tbh it's not really needed for greenlaning.

I think its the part under the bonnet that's broke, but the pipe into the diff has rotted aswell so need to think of a way to re-attach the pipe.
