In my humble opinion that's the main disadvantage of independent suspension. A Jeep going through there wouldn't be video worthy, unless of course it didn't have any lockers

Aw, he didn't get over 30 degrees sideways! The factory rated them for something like 42 degrees of sideslope; now that is a cause for a pucker that sucks up the seat vinyl! (Been there as a passenger, not something that I really want to repeat, but the truck [with nine people in it!] kept rubber side down).
These trucks really need to be experienced to understand their capabilities. After 13 years of ownership I'm still cautious (substitute the words worried, scared, puckered, etc.) of truck attitudes that it can easily handle. But being cautious is what good piloting is all about.

I have BTDT and scared myself, not to mention the guys in Jeeps behind me.

Hey Dan, I don't know if you ever saw this photo of you and I last summer but I think that we had more of a leaner going on that day LOL The prize that day still goes to Berger though

That is a great shot (did not see it before) Thanks!
It looks like we may have had all 3 tires on the passenger side catching some air
Berger just wanted to check some stuff under his truck and that was the easiest way

Now I understand why my boss's new Mercedes has power folding mirrors; his SUV must be self righting, just power out the mirrors! Someone needs to make an aftermarket kit for Pinzis.Berger just wanted to check some stuff under his truck and that was the easiest way
