no it wont just tip over with wind or anything. they are very sturdy vehicles i mean ofcoarse with any suv if you drive like its a sports car and take turns at like 50 when its supposed to be 25 its gonna either hold or flip. but for the most part i dont think i have ever seen any jeep flip like a pancake just cuz its a jeep or an suv just dont drive it like an idiot and it wont flip i guerantee it.

They do if you are an in extreme turning situation on unpredictable surfaces (ice/loose gravle). The new Jeeps are equiped with roll Midigation where if the speed is too fast for the turn, it will use the brakes and cut the engine to slow you down where you'd be in a situation where it will tip. They have improved them greatly since the old CJ's where the wheel base of the vehicle was so close together.

Any jeep will tip over easily. They all have a high centre of gravity and that lends itself to an unstable point above the ground. I have seen experienced veterans of WW II go over on these commercial jeeps and these guys are the ones who used the originals in battle!

Taking liberties with a Jeep when you are tipsy can cause inexplicable burns, so be careful and always practice safe liberties. Otherwise, any car with a short wheel base or narrow track is at risk for tipping. . .especially cute car hops!

All those boxy high vehicles do. The higher the center of gravity the easier they tip. That is why sports cars hug the ground. They have a lower center of gravity so they slide around turns not roll on them.

Any SUV will tip over (roll) if you try to drive it like a sports car. If you drive it like a normal person would drive a car, you will not have any problems.
When SUVs roll, it can usually be attributed to driver error, such as over-correcting a skid, or sudden fast turns.

Not unless you drive like crap they won't. Actually they are quite stable when driven correctly. Any vehicle can tip over easily when driven incorrectly. Basically don't be racing around corners with it and you will be fine.
