Yes, it all depends what you do in a M151. I've spun around in the rain
and skidded down a bank into a field. That would have rolled any MB/M38A1
but the coil springs just bounced us out into the field. Likewise, the A2
rollbar is almost maxed out with weight. The bar is so heavy it seems to
make the vehicle more unstable. Yes, I believe A1's roll somewhat easier
and just like the VW bug, which is also pretty easy to roll. I still
believe most M151's rolled because the driver didn't own the vehicle and
so "rip, tear or bust!"
