Somebody smarter than me once stated 'give me a fulcrum and lever and I shall move the earth'
I believe you can drive a defender anywhere it 'will go', without breaking the chassis; even max loaded (evenly) as long as the driver considers speed, line and throttle input timing.
This 130 may have hit a bull dust hole, grader line or some obstacle that sent him airborne.
I accidentally jumped my HJ V8 ute one night on Kangaroo Island. Rounded a corner at 80km/hr, noticed the busted T junction sign laying on the road 30m before the intersection; that's a bit late when you're running 13"w tyres! We launched the car off the grader line, well over head height and landed in the trees that grew alongside the river
. I got out in a quiet rage, in the pitch dark and fell 8ft to the ground!
Bent the chassis rails up at the front by 2" and cracked both front disc rotors. I straightened her out on a chassis straightener a week later - good as gold.
