Flipping Questions
Hey Jeeping Buddies!
So I have a story and a question. My apartment complex called me at five in the morning. The guy on the phone say's to me, "Move that ****ty Jeep and Silver car or they BOTH get towed!!! We have people in and out of here, and your vehicles can't be clogging up the side of the complex." Nice MF right? I told him that I was only fifteen and he said that he was going to call a towing company if they weren't moved in a 45 minute period. So, everyone knows me. I walk outside cussing and cursing like an idiot, jump in the Honda and VOILA! The Honda grew Wings at it's front wheels!! I park it down the street so it won't EVER cause a problem. Then I get in the Jeep, and I'm not going to go fast because it's a high profile truck and the last thing I want is to be involved in a rollover with my first Jeep. :/ But, there was this older dude that was following me and he looked pissed, which only pissed me off more so I went faster, and took a side street doing about 35 and I noticed there was a ****LOAD of lean on the passenger side. So my question is, how fast, and how sharp of a turn do you need to do to flip a Jeep Cherokee? Mines a 95, two door, with a five speed if that makes a difference. I can't stand property management at my complex. THEY SUCK .

I have not tried it but lets say 35 mph, imagine a traffic cone in your way, quick right, pause ever so briefly, then hard left, horizon changes 180°.

but also it all depends on the situation. ive taken alittle less then 90 degree corners at 35 mph sway bars discod. put on 2 wheels and took up 2 lanes worth of driveing. it was not a busy street at all at 2am. highly stress that if you dont want to flip ya dont try that. but other then that ive been in some stickey situations offroad that almost left me tumbleing over and im at 6.5" of lift on 35s.

This thread is FULL of fail.
Listen to these two guy, please, before you or someone else gets hurt.
If you even THINK it could roll, chances are your right and have just been lucky.
