    How accurate do you think it is?

    I was hitting 30% more or less every time I got off camber today, and frankly I was holding on to the center console for leverage.

    The resolution on the display isn't great (5 degrees, I think), but it does seem pretty accurate. In 4WD training last week, the instructor called out the angles of ascent, descent, passenger and driver side camber for each of those obstacles, and the MTM was right on those number.

    For me, 30 degrees is solidly in white-knuckle territory.

    My knuckles were white, that’s for sure.

    Thankfully things stayed rubber side down.

    I thought 30 degrees is a limit for 4Runner, frankly I don't feel comfortable on 15 degrees but telling myself that it's far for limit : )

    It probably is. I was sitting there hoping that the trees on my side were nice and sturdy just in case!

    Didn’t manage to hit that from a vertical perspective coming down, but got close enough to the departure angle of 26 degrees that my hitch was collecting soil samples when my front tires reached bottom. Thankfully it was a dry day.

    Compare against an inclinometer app on your phone and/or a physical inclinometer. :notsure: The latter is also good for DIY camber adjustment...

    Anyway, 30 deg is just a number. The actual rollover point depends on how your vehicle is loaded, suspension setup, etc.
