This one is on my christmas list... :)

I would love to have one too! I'll also add that on my xmas list.

me too,me too

I really like these. I wish they made a set up for two gauges (one side and one f/r) that was pillar mount. I think that'd be awesome.

I had one of those "Lev-O-Gage" deals back in the day.  Still making them??? WOW.   I also had one of them cheap grey boxes with the black face jeep pic thing too.
 
hotrodthom; good to hear from ya brudda, where ya been?  Did you see ghostrider's Silver Lake pics and Vid???

check this one out it is built right in to the h3t concept

Now that IS cool.

That is cool. Too bad they didn't put that in the H3's...yet.

Here is the link for the inclinometer I installed on my H3 a couple years ago.  Installed it on top the dash right in front of me.  Wish they had it in a pod but it does the job.  Pitch and roll for about $40.

just doing the family thing. trying to decide what upgrade to get next. prolly the pcm flashed. kind of bummed camping season is over, gonna miss the dunes. still need to check out the silver lake vid. i know i dont have many posts, but i do alot of reading on this forum. learned a lots from you guys. definitely the best forum i've been associated with. keep up the good work!

Definately NOT a USA model from the looks of the other gauges.

Yeah, but those only go up to 40 degree fore slope when the H2 & H3 will do 60 stock. The RAD-1 can go up to 60 degree slope aft/fore.

What a/b side to side? H3 advertises 40 degree.

40% grade. This is about 22 degrees.

OK, gotcha.

I like this gauge from Hummer Solutions:



It's not a picture of a Hummer, but at least it isn't a Jeep. Of course, if you change the vehicle profile by adding a bunch of heavy stuff to the rack, you may want to subtract a degree or two for a roll over safety margin.

I like that gauge too. That's really slick.

that's the first time i've seen a hummersolutions gauge that wasn't in the owner's truck.  not sure what the gauge was reading here, i was more worried about ruining all the leather from the seat that i'd pulled up the crack of my a$$

Not so fast. As with most of these gauges, a little math is required.  Most (like mine pictured below) display the tilt in degrees. The Hummer ratings (60% fore-to-aft and 40% side) are slope, also known as grade. Percent of slope is derived from the rise divided by the run multiplied by 100. So a 1/1 slope would be a 100% grade which is a 45 degree angle. I made a conversion chart:


So if you are watching your inclinometer that displays degrees, you don't want to exceed 22 degrees side hill and 31 degrees front to back.

 
You are correct and my apologies. I knew this and can't believe I posted that. It's been a long while since I looked at these, but I remember there was something about that little grade-guage on the side that was not as worthy as the larger slope-guage. Trying to remember now....I think maybe it does not have the dampening liquid in it and it moves too fast to be useful or something on those lines.

No sweat, I took a lot of math in college  and still made the same mistake for years. Everytime I looked at the specs for Hummers I always thought it meant 40 degrees side to side and 60 degrees fore and aft. I just didn't want anyone to buy a gauge and roll their Hummer because they made the same mistake I did. because of the degrees vs. grade thing. Just remember that the Hummer specs are slope/grade and the inclinometer usually reads out in degrees. Do the math! Or please use my conversion chart!

BTW, I have 3 of the ones like KS Trekker is showing and have them listed cheap: http://www.****forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30557

I had a chance this last weekend to see what 30 degrees on the inclinometer feels like:
 

 
Man, was that an unnatural feeling. Talk about your pucker factor -- I think I had a firm grip on the seat with my rear end!
