it just fell onto its nearside. the cage has not moved at all so it held up ok
did bend the rear bumper cage mount and the side step on the offside  on a lump of concrete trying to get up a steep hill
trouble is it stood on its nose and crushed the front wing so need to get the pannel hammers out of retirement
my grandson was in it at the time and all he could do was laugh took a while to get out of his seatbelt (full harness) and he had to climb up me to get out of the drivers window and i just climbed out of the rear tailgate
the tow eye on the top off the cage works ok for pulling it back onto its feet

the roll was driver error
and to high up to see where i was going
and its not any more top heavy than a standard range rover apart from the extra weight of the roll cage
driver the same as a rangy any how
and it is still usable for offroad and if i want to mot it i can remove all the lights and swithes and blank off the holes and mot it as a daylight vehicle
