Default Does anybody need a good view of the undercarriage

In 2008 I put my 99 disco 1 on its side, it stayed on its side for over an hour and all that leaked out was about an 1/8th of a quart of tranny fluid. There was a small dent in the front passenger door but, was easily pushed out by hand from the inside, can't even tell. I rolled my 85 toyota pickup on its top and within five minutes had it back on its wheels and pretty much all of the fluids from the engine, tranny and tranfercase poured out. The Disco is a very well sealed unit.

You have a habit of flopping vehicles it sounds like!

Twice in twenty-six years of offroading isn't bad, especially if you've seen the places that I will drive a vehicle through. I started driving offroad at a young age due to my father wanting me to be able to get him to a major road if something were to happen that would incapacitate him. I've done the same with my son, with the toyota so he knows how to operate a clutch. Now I just take it too far, I like to test vehicles to see where they can go, at least as far as they can go with a good driver behind the wheel.
