Jim,

I don't know if you have checked into this or not, but it may be a good selling point for your products. If with the addition of your misc hardware, (bumpers, sliders, skids, etc.), you decrease the top heavyness of the Xterra. Which may result in a better Rollover Rating overall.

Lol, nice to see us at the highest % for a rollover.

Yeah, rollovers suck, but now I'm telling myself that buying a Shrockworks bumper will help prevent another one!

You know, getting some skid plate armor would help create a lower center of gravity...

... in other words, reducing rollover likelihood

That was my thinking - all added weight is at and/or below wheel well level and below.

i really really dislike those test....

i read it else where, and its confirmed on that site you sent. something like 95% of rollovers are caused by something on the road, or alongside the road ("tripping" the vehicle if you will)...

and most of those ratings are just calculated from numbers and have little or no bearing on real life. its just a number so people can feel better (or worse)

I've seen the aftermath of a few X's that have been in roll overs and I like what I see. So they might be more likely to roll than some other SUV's, but they sure as hell handle the roll well.

I'm sure I've posted these before, but here's my rolled '02. After what it went through - one complete roll, and then landed on the driver's side - I gotta say it stood up to the accident very well.

Those pictures also illustrate perfectly why Bull Bars aren't always a good option. You can see they bent into the hood / fenders and caused quite a bit of damage themselves.

Yeah, but she looked good when she was intact.
