They (the M38A1s) were just stripped-down Jeep CJ-5s weren't they? Why would their rollover potential be higher than the civilian counterpart?

No clue as to why, all I know is we crushed them before they would go to DRMO.  Trucks and cars were another story, they were de-mil'd and then put in the yard.

Many of the old M38a1s did make it through to the public. The ones that were verboten to reach us were the M151s. They had a 4 wheel independent suspention that was a dream off road and was gave a very comfortable ride but only the gama-goat was a bigger death trap. The only ones that have made it to civilian hands were the ones that were cut into four parts with a cutting torch and then welded back together by the civilian buyer.
