You're correct Mark, standard Hilux's do roll over.......I've seen the bollards test and it looked completely out of control.......however the Arctic Truck mods include a 6" track increase.....I've had it sideways (by mistake) and it was totally controllable with zero signs of roll over.
Cheers,

Whats it actually like off road compared to a Discovery or something similar then? I can't say i am a pick up fan in general, but must admit i got close to buying a red Ford F150 SVT Lightning once. I also love the new Raptor. Saw one at Spa last year and thought it looked amazing!

No comparison to much really. Due to its increased ground clearance, approach and departure angles are increased, tyres can be let down to 800 gms to aid flotation over snow or mud, then re-inflated with the onboard compressor, rear diff is LSD, the front diff has an ARB locker run from the compressor and if you really do get stuck, the on board winch cradle can be locked to it's front or rear receivers and used remotely.
Here are a couple of photos showing the winch cradle installed:
Apart from its physical size on small tracks, it's pretty much unstoppable.
It's for sale if you're interested.
Cheers,

Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

How Funny,
I have a Hilux Vigo + NSX in the stable... the phrase "great minds think alike" comes to mind...
