What agle can our surfs go on before she rolls?

[Kiwisurfing]

Probbly a silly question but a search of the forums not showing anything.

Love 4wding and give my old truck and give it in the process (and break many things and engines in the process)
I happily have it at 35 degrees going up hill or down hill possible hitting 40 but she struggles to get grip once at 40 obviously, but as for sideways stuff I wimp out at a meer 15-20 degrees.
Am I being too much of a wimp and need to suck it up or are surfs likely to roll over sideways and im right in not liking sideways stuff?

What kind of angles do you guys hit when out playing?

PS: it 1am, im bored and playing with the smileys

Hello dale. Difficult question to answer, because the centre of gravity can be different depending on track width, how much higher than standard a truck is and how heavily, and how high up it's been loaded. Generally the higher the centre of gravity, the easier it will tip. The surface you are on needs to be considered, as well. will the vehicle slip and slide, or could some sink, or break away, causing further sudden tilt......If you value your vehicle, and yourself, dont take risks..................see pic ......Cheers........Mick

Ye gods thats not a good pic to see, hope who ever was drivings ok.
I think though after seeing a picture like that im happily going to be a wimp and stick with my 15-20 degrees limit on sideways stuff, rather not end up like this photo
