We have a Land Rover with a rack on it and have been wheeling with stuff on top. When I took a test drive with the sub-frame the COG seemed about the same. I did some maneuvering etc and no problems. I'm going to take it for a spin now to see how it handles. It's all complete. I took some pics, and I'll upload em when I get back.......
