Rollover angle, stock mojave

[Eumland33]

Wanted to put some decently reliable data points out there on roll over angle, look at pictures for context:

Tldr; listen to the roll gauge. 30° is cutting it close in decent conditions. I'd guess a static increase to 35°+ would roll it.

Story: Hit a patch of ice, slid off the road.

Original roll angle of 28° in the pictures. Trying to drive myself out that dropped further to 30°. Thinking it might roll with me in it I didn't take another picture.

Pulling it out the roll angle got worse. Both passenger tires went up in the air, second cable line on the frame caught it. Picture taken right after the wheels were pulled back on the ground.

Stock Mojave w/ exception to bed rack and ~ 100lbs of tools low in truck bed drawers. Dirt was soft, wet and coarse/granular with the occasional large rock in it. Pitch angle was negligible.

The amazing thing is, the rollover angle is much higher than maximum pucker factor........

Erik, glad everyone was safe and that you were smart enough to put the two cables on!
I have seen 31° on a trail then I REALLY puckered when a 1" root was approaching the high side.
Stock suspension Rubicon on 35's at 18 psi.

The soft dirt is obviously contributing to the rollover. On solid ground like rocks where the downhill tires aren't sinking in is imagine you'd get several more degrees. Of course that's one of those theories you don't really want to test unless you've already got the winch line in place to catch it.
