What we cover
The why, not just the how
Drivetrain
4-High and 4-Low, diff locks, traction control, gearing. What each part does to the push at your tyres.
Recovery
Kinetic ropes, winches, traction boards, jacks. Where the forces go, and why some shortcuts hurt people.
Tyres and upgrades
Bigger tyres, spacers, lifts and what they change: your speedo, your gearing, your bearings.
Tilt Gauge
An inclinometer app for your 4x4: a pitch and roll gauge that warns you at your own limits. Built for a phone on the dash, in sun, at night, with no signal.
- Pitch and roll, with amber and red warnings at the angles you set
- Speed, heading and altitude from GPS, all offline
- No account, no ads, no internet access at all
Free tool
Tyre size calculator
Fitting bigger off-road tyres? See how far out your speedo will be, how much pull you lose, and which axle ratio brings it back.
