That's an amazing vehicle. Is it as topheavy as it looks?

It looks like those old weapons carriers on steroids.

err no, they (when unloaded) will happily go over the manufactures rated 38deg side slope though you tend to chicken out first especially if your on the down side!

 

loaded is a different matter though, but like anything if you drive like a dickhead to fast momentum/weight shift will tip you over long before the static angle would

 

my one has a basic weight of ~6100KG (~13445LB) and most of that is situated between the chassis rails beneath the lower edge of the door height apart from 6" of the block & the cylinder head, the unloaded static weight distribution is F:R 3400kg:2700kg (7494LB:5951LB) or ~60:40

hear is a U1300L ex military one being driven badly but it shows the "topheavy as it looks" is not the case, but the longer wheel base dose help.

near the end this one also shows the newer military UHN (U3000, U4000, U5000) on side slope.

How did you find those tyres on that steep drop off ?

 

I find ours are hopeless in mud even with diffs locked you just can't climb out of the ruts.
