Uberoo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 just wondering, Anyone happen to know the degree from horizontal that a stock EA81 or EA82 will flop onto its side or roof? I was thinking about just pulling my offroad toy so it flops on its side just to see when it goes past that point.Although admittedly the stock carb will flood out long before you roll.Although the sudden stopping or bucking may just roll you anyway...

bratman18 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thats a good question? I had my old Ea82 wagon almost completey on its side...it was the passenger side..but it was way over and it didn't tip! That and I recently parted an EA82 out and when I pulled the tranny I pulled the car over with a tractor and again it was at an insane angle and it didn't tip over..We just used the tractor to hold it up.

It is a lot further than most of you will find comfortable. The carb doesn't buck or anything. It just runs out of fuel. We have documented over 45 degrees, might even have been close to 50.

Phizinza Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Because when your offroad it never is perfect you'll find having a number useless that's probably why no one has a number. Bumps, lumps etc in the track change how the car sits etc plus power here and there changes the weight distribution so it really is impossible to give it a number when your offroad. Using the general rule of thumb for larger 4x4's (never exceed 30 degrees) keeps you out of trouble but otherwise its more a feel thing. You'll probably know when it will go because by the time you get that far in a Subaru you'll know what they are capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ive never tipped a Subaru. Ive had them over so far that the passenger could reach out and touch the ground. Its definatly alot more than a toyota or any other wheeler can handle. When I bought my toyota & took it out on its first trip, I put it on its side on purpose... because I was used to wheelin subaru's I didn't want any suprises when it came to the toyota. I was suprised how easily the thing went over... it didnt take much. Real world experience will pay off better than just pulling your car over with another one.

TeamCF Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 They can go pretty far. Had mine up in some bad spots and never had it go over. Felt like it could but never an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 so basically is damn near 60* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I don't see anything past 35degrees in those pictures. But I believe you zap on the 50 degree. My brother had his 4runner at 37degrees side ways going up a 20 to 30 degree slope. We were a little worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) if it's at a slow rate of speed and a low center of gravity (stock to mild lift) i'd say between 40* and 50* pushing it. i've set her on her side from anything between those #'s, at that point all kinds of stuff come into play and you just have to go with your gut on when too far is too far or your vehicle is on it's side or rolling down a hill. go to an rv shop and get an inclinometer and mount it in your dash, or get one of those fancy ones with the jeep on them. the only thing keeping this from tipping is the rock under the right door. the suspension was starting to unload. due to the sandy conditions the front tire wasn't stable, if i could of drove further forward, and the rock wasn't there i would have been over.
