Off-road Basic Technical Information
Dear off-road and nature enthusiast friends, we are together with another sharing of our Offroad Basic Technical Information article series. The information I will provide; These are concentrated, technical-based, lived experiences, and some of the details that will find a name in the off-road literature for the first time. With the hope that it will benefit the readers.
Our topic today is “Roadside Rollover Analysis ” :
Before this article, I recommend you to read our article on ” Off-road and balance “.
It is a situation that we may be exposed to especially in narrow forest roads, road crossings that narrow due to tiny landslides, sometimes due to snowdrifts accumulating on the side of the road, and sometimes on roads that are split due to precipitation. While we are not likely to experience this situation, we will seek the answer to the question of under what conditions and under what conditions can we suddenly lose control and the vehicle slides towards the slope. What are the risks, what are the points to be considered?
I’ll summarize first to remind you of the basic principle of balance. As indicated in Picture 1, if the projection of point “C” exceeds point “O”, tipping occurs. That point is where the vehicle is based. Sometimes it can be the outermost part of the tire, sometimes the axle sleeve, sometimes the chassis.

If there is no bump on the side of the road to prevent us from slipping or there is no tree to lean on, this situation poses a great danger.
Let me also verbally convey the situations that I want to express in pictures.
When the vehicle tends to slant down a steep slope, the axles, the lowest part of the bottom of the vehicle, will rest against the corner of the slope. But can this stamina hold the vehicle safely? The problem is at this point.
As can be seen from the drawings, if ;
If your tires are big and your vehicle is high, there is a high probability of overturning.
If your tires are small and your vehicle is low, your vehicle may not topple over, however, if the vehicle weight is high, it may continue to slide and come to a tipping position even though it has endured.
If your vehicle is narrow, even if your tires are small, your vehicle may overturn.
If the vertical line passing through the center of gravity of the vehicles exceeds the vertical line of the corner where the vehicle is leaning, the vehicle will overturn.

If the roll-over went from tilting to a somersault, the equipment we call a roll bar becomes vital. It is a mandatory equipment to have, especially in vehicles that participate in professional offroad events.
When we roughly scan the vehicles we use in the field, the vehicles that offer roll bar equipment as standard, the JEEP wrangler model produced by the JEEP group especially for use in the field will come to the fore. If we are to pronounce the more recent versions with their names; JEEP WRANGLER YJ, JEEP WRANGLER TJ, JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON JK, JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON JL are vehicles that have been and are being sold to the market with a roll bar as standard.
Conclusion:
Try not to put your vehicle in such a position. If the situation is unavoidable, also know this;
Try not to put your vehicle in such a position. If the situation is unavoidable, also know this;
The bigger your tires are, the more likely you are to tip over.
The higher the vehicle is, the more likely you are to roll over,
The narrower the vehicle, the more likely you are to tip over.
The heavier the vehicle, the more likely you are to roll over.
