i see where you're coming from, and it is an exercise for my own curiosity. I don't really know what you drive or have driven, but an example of my own experience watching Rover1's GQ happily drive along a straight but severly sidesloped creekbed while i had to verry tentatively follow and take weird lines because of all the hype surrounding troopcarriers, and the way it felt at the time. Just curious if it really is that bad, and if you have a reference point (albeit in a static postion) you can start to work out your limitations when you go off track allowing for the various dynamic forces.
hopefully

i'm also starting to get the idea that i'm not the only one who has been wondering this.
besides, it's one thing to go out and learn it's limits by driving when you own a dedicated rock rasher. But it's something altogether different when you'de like it to keep some resemblance to a daily driver. Besides, zook drivers can push a rolled zook over by hand by themselves:D I can't even move my truck around on the flat ground.

Two things I'd suggest is to make sure you have a sterile cabin and to be inside the vehicle so you can actually feel what happens to the seat of your pants. Hopefully they'll stay clean

did he end up doing any damage? and how did he get it over/back up.
i'd be too scared to do in front of an audience.
it's gonna be bad enough having the old man shaking his head in disbelief. He can't understand why i wasn't too worried about bending my bullbar or getting track carnage.

Just go crawling on wombatholes, nice and slowly... when you feel one wheel pop up, your getting there. If 2 wheels diagonally opposite bob up and down and give a sea-saw affect, congrats, your prolly 70-80% of the way there, depending on how high the wheels are off the ground on either end...... one thing I can say from watching a flop, is that its a REALLY REALLY thin line between lookin like it might not be really steady, and o crap, its gooone 
I reckon just do the AAMI add, and bubble wrap your car, and go ramp/flex on sum wombatholes till it either goes really damn close, or flops
(this is what I mean by wombatholes, dunno if its common lingo or not http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y285/R ... G_1737.jpg)

This is spot on. Enough tippy troopy talk already!grimbo wrote:what do you actually hope to prove. Tipping a vehicle sideways in a controlleed mannner on a flat surface means nothing when you are trying to climb a slippery side slope, or driving through a rutted section of track. You can tip a car over alot easier than you think but sometimes you can also lean a car over alot more than you think. What it comes down to is you need to know when your truck feels like going over. This can only be gained from real time driving experience.
