25+ degrees of roll with a rooftop tent

[Rummie]

I've seen a lot of guys ask about center of gravity when you start adding things to your roof or rack. My wife caught this vid on Pleasant Canyon Loop where I hit 25+ degrees of roll. I looked down at when it read 25 and then tipped further but I wasn't taking my eyes off the road to see exactly what it hit! LOL I would guess over 30.

I have an iKamper Mini and two Roam boxes up top. The boxes had firewood and camping supplies. The gas cans on the rack were full.

While it was definitely a clencher, it stayed perfectly upright. I could feel the back driver wheel get a bit light but it never left the ground. I'm sure it could have gone further even with the weight up top.

Couldn't get it to upload here so put it on my channel.

I clinched a little watching. Nice driving.

Just out of curiosity does anybody know the maximum roll angle before you should abandon ship?

This is something I have thought of alot with my build. I knew I wanted a full rack because I used the bed a lot and wanted the space so I got the same full rebel rack you have . for a RTT I went with a GFC Superlight 80lbs spread over a much wider area and super thin so less roll and better aero.?
