It's kind of like the first couple times you put a boat in as a couple, you don't want an audience, and you need to remember not to yell at each other, lol. Not that she can't observe someone else spotting you in a group.

Until she was comfortable driving, we'd get out and look at the obstacle together, and I'd talk her through the line I wanted her to put me on. Once she was comfortable spotting, we swapped seats and I started spotting her through stuff. Her having seat time made it so I didn't have to get out with her for most of the time, and she feels comfortable wheeling a lot more now.
Thats awesome advise gonna have to get out soon on our own now for sure.

Off camber is very scary and prob not more than about 25 degrees, buy an angle meter and put it on the inside of your windshield centered.
Is there something wrong with the built-in roll / pitch meter? I usually have that up behind the steering wheel and the trail cam on the Uconnect.

53-degree lean...that said this Jeep is HIGHLY modified and when I engineered it and included off-camber in the rocks...Big plus is NOBODY will ever ride with me.

The everyday Jeep, dunno. I will tell you this building to attain this was not easy, took a lot of shifting weight. Using a 4 corner weighing system I am +/- 25 lb all the way around at each tire

Glad you were not with me, in fact no one goes with me.

This is what I hear all the time: "Gosh, you make it look easy"

NOT at all, I use it and I have a center windshield frame mount also. I use it in extreme as I don't have to find it behind the steering wheel on the dash, I look up and instantly know my off-camber. I knew my Jeep could go 53 degrees and NO MORE, LOL. I have never laid it down on its side.

I know this sounds rather silly in comparison to what some of you are capable of, but I did manage to get one wheel up in the air yesterday thanks to a bit of confidence injected from some of you folks here. I’m creeping my way up to 53 degrees!!:CWL: Thanks, everyone!
