Angle of Dangle

[makeitfit]

Can any one help me with the tilt angle of the T2 ?
That is at what point does it fall over side ways .

Thought you already knew that:lol

Don't know if i've got that info or not but do have break over angles etc but not to had as the paper work is in the loft:doh but going up there tomorrow so will dig it out anyway & put it up on the site:thumbs

Well according to this the Van can do 48degrees

Even If you can get a figure for the standard, unmodified car, it will change significantly (worse) for every inch lifted, and (better) for every inch the track is increased. Also any changes to the suspension softness could make it go either way. even a small loading on the roof will be a big disadvantage. If you are going to take it anywhere near the limit, I would suggest a practical test in very controlled conditions and with a lot of help and lots of straps to catch it. :augie

I read that as 39 degrees ? "Gradeability" :augie
48 would be flippin awesome :sly

i'd say it depends how twitchy ya arse is :lol

That's exactly the problem , I don't think I do know :lol

Looks to me like you need to fit a trapeze and get a really keen passenger :naughty :thumbs

If you read the text though, second to last paragraph of the "4X4 OFF ROAD MANOEUVRABILITY AND TOWING ABILITY" it says...

"It can traverse a slope up to a lean angle of 48o - however the nerve of all but the most experienced off-road drivers would surely run out long before a Terrano leaned this far over. The van has a 270 maximum 'ramp over' angle (the maximum sharpness of a ridge or ramp that a vehicle can negotiate without the underside grounding)."

There are a few other sites that also state the same figure.

Hold on, I'll save you.

I made this thread yonks ago.

I like that idea :thumbs 48 degrees is pretty damn good but I'll have to experiment to be sure :naughty

48 degrees is patrol limit apparently, suspected that terrano must be about 45

A major consideration is that a nice even 42 deg incline rapidly becomes 50 odd deg when driving over unseen a brick/stone/tree root etc on the higher wheels, and even a smallish pothole on the lower wheels will do the same.

When I went on my 4x4 learning course, we took the car round this flooded bend, using the bank to pass a tree.... I would have sworn the car was about to fall over, and was grateful that it would just lean against the tree. Half way round the instructor asked us how far we thought we were leaning, as we had already been told the car had a maximum angle of 45degrees, and we were struggling to stay in our seats. Everyone thought we were at that angle, and maybe even pushing it beyond.

After my turn was over, I got to watch the other people do it... I was so disappointed, the car was barely making 25degrees.... Not sure I would have the nerve to take it to 30, let alone 48!!!

That link I put up I think was at 39 degrees, needless to say I was a bit worried, the terrano was actually sitting on the edge of the tyre. I've had a few scary moments, one is a lane I have done many times, after the body lift this became a lot more scary, and the other is the one with Elty end Steve when I chewed my wing up :lol
