Just resurrecting this old thread... did anyone actually try this? Would be curious to verify the earlier comment that the 4Runner was designed to 42 degrees.
I think our interest in rollover is primarily at low speed, therefore we can safely ignore momentum effects and racetrack embankment analogies.
Rocks and slippage are big factors of course.
Additionally, a better way to measure the "pucker" angle would be along the diagonal axes of the truck (LR to RF and RR to LF) which would
measure the combined effect of pitch and roll. This video highlights the pucker:

Yes, the spotter is an idiot, but it shows that the pucker doesn't necessarily stop everyone.
