Popped a ton of tires, could easily roll if the swerve is sharper, completely unbalanced the suspension to the point it looks unmanageable (going into oncoming traffic and not being able to save it etc)Originally posted by SSMAN View PostIt didn't roll?? What is the big deal?

Never said you did! Just clarifying for those reading that your experience should not reflect any sort of design defect by a FoMoCo vehicle that in any way resembles the Jeep's inherent deisgn flawsOriginally posted by Mach1 View PostI watched the video, I listened, I realize that this test was done at 43mph.
I was just posting my personal experience, I didn't "try" to roll it over, I didn't cut the wheel as hard as they were. I was just caught off guard that it felt that way, I didn't feel like it should have upset the car that much.

Damn... and the wife and I were both thinking about one of these in a year or so.

This, plus the average bull moose is between 1000lbs-1600lbs. A lot of people die hitting moose on the road.Originally posted by Yale View PostIf you think hitting a moose is like hitting a whitetail, you're beyond mistaken. It's like hitting a Brahma Bull on stilts. And let's say you do hit it in the legs. Now you have something weighing hundreds of pounds crashing into your passenger compartment (remember when you chose protecting your grill over that?) at 45 miles an hour. That's the same as if you dropped the animal on yourself from a 4th floor window. Nice try, though.

Isn't this the same BS they did with the explorers or bronco IIs back in the 90's? SUV's are always top heavy.... it's like people saying Jeep needs to recall all jeeps due to death wobble.... when ALL solid front axles have death wobble if you dont take care of your shit.

I'm not a big fan of Chrysler products, but I'd like to see them perform this test on comparable SUV's like the Explorer.
