Does anyone know the angle at which a stock fj62 with 235/75R15 tires would flip?

get an angle finder from harbor freight and a forklift. Then you will know for sure.

Your butt will tell you its leaning too far before it tips over. Unless your butt nerves are not accurate.

There is no way to really know because there are too many variables. Are you moving or stopped? Is your suspension stiff or soft, how much psi is in your tires. Are you in the rig? Anyone else?

Unfortunantly my butt nerves are a little sensitive when it come to leaning. The adreniline likes to pump too much sometimes.
 
Then that is how far you should let your wagon lean. Any farther and you may cause it (or you and your passengers) harm by doing something under the influence of adrenaline. The more you wheel, the more accustomed you'll be to your wagons capabilities. And then you will be skillful and smart in wheeling your wagon.

FWIW - my wagon "feels" less stable stock than my lifted mini-truck. I didn't mind the back end coming up all the time. But I do mind when the back comes up in the wagon. It's a little unnerving. Have a good time!
 
Terrain plays into it too. I had my FJ40 leaning VERY hard on hard ground that was just a off camber trail and it never felt bad. But man, not as much of an angle but in hardpacked snow going through some ruts leaned over and it felt like it want to go door up.
