I was trying to find on here the other day and could not find it. the article where California was testing rollover and took a gen1 4 door and hooked it up so at 70mph it would disconnect and yank the wheel. Does anybody have that video?

Does anybody have that video? Not sure about California, but there was one they did in Utah using. Gen 1 4-door.

I'm sure you can find it with a little bit of searching on google.

It still pisses me off that a perfectly good montero was trashed for the sake of "research". There are a slew of blazers, bronco II's ,troopers,heeps & lets not forget explorers that would have excelled at this roll over test.

Being Calif###ya, they shopped for the boxiest most dangerous looking truck on the lot. Sadly our trucks fit the "look" But with my sway bars connected mine is as planted as a subaru... If you yank any car at 70 bad sh*t will happen. Gotta love those asshats doing studies to make it look like the idiots aren't the ones at fault for not knowing how to control a vehicle... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

Don't do that." I hate to see a Montero all busted up for "science" but at least they learned something from it.
