Tip over Point/Angle

[grips]

Side way tipping is one thing. Tipping over to the front or rear is very common in short wheel base 4x4`s. One of my biggest concerns with the G60 Patrol. The reason we fitted a proper roll cage, racing type seats and 4 point safety harness. Few weeks ago we nearly did a back ward flip up a dune
when we hit a spinned out patch. Wheelies on bikes and quads I am used to but it is scary when a 4x4 lift the front wheels.

I have read somewhere that 80% of the rollovers on trails have short wheel base 4x4`s involved.

I remember the clip. Legendary!

I can categorically state that, had that been me, I would have been in dire need of a second set of jocks!

The fact that he remained calm is amazing!

Willie stayed calm but there were luck and some Angels also involved.

... a Defender 90 would, fortuitously, probably not have the power to readily get itself
in that sort of trouble ... well ... maybe a 2.8i or V8 ...

Eish! Dit was naby!

My bakkie is redelik gelig, dus is dit vir my 'n kommerwekkende punt.

Ek weet dit voel altyd erger as wat dit werklik is - maar sal tog gerusstellend wees om te weet.

Dis duur om jou voertuig te laat laai as jy hom omgedop het!

In elk geval sal ek maar die wiele aan die een kant op jack en maar 'n nastenby kry...

... then one might say you get hybrid type situations where vehicle, such as a Fortuner
like Manny drives ... , tries to do the Moose Test
at even low speeds ....

Jy kan darm vinnig die verskil sien tussen 'n plaaskind en 'n stadsjapie.

Ek wens my kinders kon soos ek ook kaalvoet skool toe gaan.

Op my laerskool het ons nie 'n bus gehad nie en die koshuis was so 2km van die skool af. Ons het met die koshuisvader se mainliner beestrok skool toe gery. Party dae het ons die skool misgery want die trok het nie genoeg druk opgebou vir die lugremme nie!
