Is there any difference in the tip over angle between going up a hill and coming down? I'm assuming that the front end is the heaviest due to the engine. Would weight shifting cause it to tip over easier going down hill? Terry |

Theoretically it should be easier to tip over going downhill. Although I was assured by the folks at Moab -that in reality they never flip end over end - it's always slip and then roll sideways |

I've climbed up things that I would never want to go down. I remember MOAB back in February driving up a switchback on the side of a canyon that was one long sheet of ice. I was with some insane dude from Western CO. I drove up without a 2nd thought but when I saw my friend lose momentum, turn sideway and slide back down the narrow road without benefit of a guard rail; I was pretty concerned about the return trip. This event was the birthplace of a very prestigious award. On Fins-n-Things, driving up and seeing nothing but sky was not as scary as driving down and seeing nothing but headliner! |
