you're not cambered, the planet is!

It definitely felt like it was about to go over. That drivers side felt very lightly balanced.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

Been there on my way down from Bronco Knoll, and it is definitely a puckering moment when one side feels REALLY light. In my case it was a matter of turning the wheel a little downhill, and rolling through it. Definately did NOT want to stomp on the brake at that point, which every instinct I had said to do!

Do you have a sway bar disconnect? If yes, was it on?

That looked like a workout!

You tilted further than one would think possible without rolling. I noticed that the tire inflation indicator was visible on the dash. It would have been fun to see the pitch & roll display during that run! 😎

Thought about that afterwards... At the moment I was just concentrating on the "feel" not the numbers. Would have been fun to know the numbers.

That was fun to watch you work through it.
I don't mind being off-camber at Off-Roadeo when you know you're purposely going in it, but I don't love that feeling much when it's more of a surprise. What trail were you on? Looked like a great day to be out.

He also had his front and rear lockers onπŸ˜€

At that point I would have had to deploy the training wheels.

Hey, if they make rock rail steps that automatically deploy, I’m sure the aftermarket could come up with some sort of automatic rescue device! πŸ€“

That was out on lost trail here in southern Idaho.... My spotter was having fun trying to see what a Bronco on portals could do... He was trying to push things a bit. I have run that same spot a couple time since with no spotter and been no where close to that off camber. It was my first time to run that trail. I have found I do not need the front lockers on that. First run though I did not know.

How off-camber can you get before you roll?

It's hard to tell in your video just how far you are, but it looks like it's near the limit. I think this was 26 degrees, according to my son who was piloting here:

Do we have a consensus on the (approximate) numerical limit? 30 degrees?!

Wheww! I remember seeing that video awhile back -- I'm glad we got both an interior and exterior view.
