Addressing you side slope issue.
"FROM THE PICTURES, IT LOOKS TOP HEAVY.
While the vehicle has a high profile to provide adequate internal headroom (BTW - It’s the same height as the original Unimog U90 chassis on which it was based.), the center of gravity is quite low due to the placement of heavy items such as the Engine, Generator, Batteries and Fuel Tanks. Additionally, the vehicle has front and rear antisway bars and an auto leveling air
suspension system to assist in dynamic stability."
As for ground clearance.
HOW GOOD IS IT FOR ROCK CRAWLING AND EXTREME OFF ROADING?
Simply stated, it’s an expedition vehicle, not a recreational vehicle. While it is designed for severe off road conditions whenever encountered, this is a vehicle that is intended for long duration expeditions, not “seeing what it can do” by traversing technical
trails created by off road enthusiasts. However, the Maximog™ chassis provides 20+” of
suspension travel, 25” inches of ground clearance (worst case, under the differential housings), positive locking differentials, CTIS, variable ride height, adjustable shock absorber compliance, and air shifted transfer case for low range operation. This makes it quite capable in a broad variety of off road conditions.
I would think that 20 " of
suspension travel wouls address you concerns about the
wheels going up either.
25" of under diff clearance would help in those Wombat Forest bog holes.
