What are you driving, any lift, tires air pressure, all have a bearing on what your truck can handle.
What have your gauges shown you so far?

i dont have it yet. i just drive by (non)sense, usually give up earlier then i could i guess. It feels so wild from inside and looks so boring outside :-). I keep tires at highway setting 2,7bar/40PSI? No lift, actually my truck (110 TD4) is lowered for 4cm

question was mainly if you 4x4 people find it useful or even required or just take it as gadged without much help and drive by sense.

The rollover angle of a stock Defender is about 45 degrees. Unless you are a lot more fearless than I am, you'll back off well before reaching 45 degrees. I've had one of my Series at 45, and have no desire to do it again.

I had one in my first land rover and hardly ever looked at it, for the above reason.

i am definitely not fearless but because it looks so wild inside, it could have calming effect to know it is "only" at 20deg or so :-D

got it installed today. looks amazing. it is even backlit... only would be more happy if it would be black and not carbon imitation.
So far i managed 25° forward (was some stairs) and 15° to the side, but wow that was wild ride :-D
