Searching for the FJ40 rollovers on the FJ40 forum I noticed that a lot of reported incidents were at the speed below 45mph, especially when brakes slammed hard from someone pulled out in front, causing the vehicles to skid and hit the curbs. One rollover was caused by a loose steering rod clamp when he was going only 20mph.
Then I saw this picture of a 45/47! Don't know what the story was and hopeful the occupants were OK. But even that hard top collapsed!
Most of the time, I'm cruising topless, door-less, no roll cages, bench seats, lap belts only. And I do use the interstate highway cruising at 65mph at times. I'm now strongly in favor of a roll cage, bucket seats and 5-point belts.
