Mine was WAY back, with my 1st ever 4wd, a '75 FJ40.
We used to run atop & around the levees near the river, back when nobody cared. There were trails on top & some 2 track & 1 track (motorcycle) shoots down the sides. I was on top & I thought the one I chose was a 2 track... turned out to be one. Headed down with the right front tire in the low spot of the track. I don't have a pic but I'm pretty sure all but the right front tire came off the ground, before I hit the bottom setting it back on all fours. MAAAJOR butt clench for me & my rider!! I must admit I'm not hardcore & though I've done some decent maneuvers & technical crawls... that's the closest I ever came to a roll or flop.

For new wheelers: If heading down a descent with a V in the middle, NEVER put your downhill tire in the base of the V... put it on the near shoulder. This will keep your rig more level & let you straddle the channel.
iirc, I think that's how the roll happened on one of the Pine Barren Adventures posted here. Bentparts was there & some other members, I think it was SNJSamurai that rolled?
