Not an expert.... but all those jeeps have some kind of aftermarket raised suspension.... makes me wonder is that has someting to do with them toppling over so easily?

I have never felt my Jeep bounce like a bunny like the one in the middle of the clip... I have however felt the SURF bounce like that....

There's a quite a few clips of Jeep owners putting it over. I think its more a "Idiot that just got a Jeep" thing. I've seen Jeeps to some awesome things! But Idiocy is not brand specific....
