What angle can you lean a Terrano LWB 2.7 over (unladen) with no risk of it falling over?
 
I always wondered that... The clinometer on the T1, goes up to 45 degrees... not sure if that is just so you can watch it do something as you roll off down the hill though....:lol

Once that imaginary pedulum suspended from the centre of gravity falls outside your wheel base its curtains !

Ever the scientist...:lol
but where kind sir, is the centre of gravity on a standard T2, with out roof rack/box etc., as a totally uneducated guess, I would have thought it would only be just above the armrest hight wise, and a bit further forward for front the rear.

So basically, as the Routemaster double decker bus can lean 38 degrees before falling over, the T2, should be quite a bit more, and is probably close to the 45 mark.
 
Ha you're all wrong :lol the actual angle 42 degreeeeessssoohhhhfurrrrckkkkkkkk:freak3:
It really depends on the ground you're on too. So if you park on the level and jack up one side, you could maybe get 45% or more before she goes.
In the real world offroad things are very different with cross axled balance points and inertia all messing about the angle is then about " clench" and leeeean degrees :p
I've tipped mine a few times and couldn't tell you what the angle was as I really couldn't be arsed looking at the angleometer at that particular moment :lol
Anywhere around 30 degrees is alarming enough so always be very careful on sideslopes :thumbs

It's also far worse in a landie, as you'll also break your arm lol
 
You only need a small rut to take the whole thing off balance, and you could be going at 30 degrees or less :eek:

You tube have a few rollovers, even Terranos:doh
