How?
A simple roll over that could have been avoided

Seemed to roll very easily but yes could have easily been avoided. Apart from the obvious ways to avoid it I wonder if front diif locks would have made a difference as you can see he looses all drive from the front as he lifts the opposite wheel and I'm guessing even a little bit of traction on the front when he put his foot down would have made a huge difference

He was at the completely wrong angle to drive up that embankment. Front Diff locks may have made a difference but gravity has only one direction.....down.
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

I have a different opinion......
I can't believe he rolled that. My 2 inch lifted GQ would have walked over that bump....even at that angle. I suspect it has more to do with the complete lack of flex in that Paj. It's as stiff as a board, that's why it tips over so far I reckon, that has meant no grip and bad angle and over she goes. Yes, a locker possibly would have helped.
Very pleased I own a Patrol.

Yeah I suspect lockers may have helped but I'm with Drewboy I'm sure the the patrol could have walked over that. Obviously if he hit it head on he wouldn't have had a problem even in a pajero

Its all about knowing the limitations of the vehicle that you drive. The patrol would definitely do something different than the Pajero but that's where the Driver needs to understand that.
I also drive a Ford Explorer with IFS torsion bar front and Leaf spring rear and it performs totally different to the GQ Patrol and I wouldn't think of putting the Explorer into positions that I would with the GQ.

A Ford Exploder! That sounds like an interesting suspension setup...

I agree, know the cars limitations and drive accordingly.
I drove a Prado for 10 years and although it is better than a Pajero it is nothing like a Patrol on cross axle driving but the Prado was much better than the Patrol on sand.
