Default How much does it take a roll an XJ?

Decided to take my XJ for a spin in some mud around my school and im just curious how easy it would be for it to take a tumble while doing donuts or spinning it around in 2wd. Pic was taken when I first got it

It is not all that easy to roll one. But it can be done. In general, the center of gravity is lower than say a TJ, so it is more stable. But I would say that you might be borrowing trouble spinning donuts

I love this because he's not wrong. Don't be one of those fools that bring a bad reputation for these vehicles in your area. Theres a place for shenanigans and potentially doing so where you potentially shouldn't be shouldn't be encouraged or bragged about

I'll do a lot of things in an XJ. Spinning around like that is not one of them

On the other hand, barring an inside tyre suddenly deflating or, e.g. clipping a kerb, you should stay upright.
