G63 roll over

[Barra GU]

Oopsie... looks like an expensive mistake has just occured in the high country.

Alot of people doubted this rigs capabilities but i for one think that it was more driver error.

I think this purely because any person that thinks these type of vehicles are actually going to be a capable 4wd are most probably inexperienced or have high hopes...

This thing is actually a very modified vehicle and even is on portals...

Pretty unfortunate really

It doesn’t matter what vehicle you take out there and how much it costs, lose concentration in The High Country and every metre is capable of causing serious injury or death.

they will fix it then. . . at that value!

Do a google search of the user Id and the owner has posted several photos from different angles showing his vehicle having a rest.

Here are the other pics from the Instagram account. You'd expect to see some sort of under body protection on a vehicle of that spec?

Thankfully no injuries.

you can't see that stuff mate so who cares about what you can't see as long as it looks pretty....lol
looks a bit top heavy tho, may have been the reason for the lay down

G63 A class.

 

[cam04]

Could happen to anybody in that mud. I'd have it in a hearbeat - maybe with a long range tank to lose those jerrys off the roofrack though. And a BP card, I can imagine how much it drinks when playing offroad.
Underbody protection is seriously over rated when you have portals though haha.

in the first post i thought that they were travelling up hill but in the other photos they were going down by the looks

As the owner of a portal equipped vehicle, you are constantly looking at your sideways inclination/tilt and the potholes that you can drop into and tip you over - yes portals give you better ground clearance but it raises your centre of gravity so is more inclined to tip over - you never get something for nothing.
