Four wheel drive physics question

I've been driving 4X4 for years . I'm aware that the absence of a center differential is a critical factor which makes running in 4X4 on a dry road a really really bad idea .I know it can cause all kinds of damage due to lack of slippage and inability to compensate for differences in grip between the tires and I don't do it.

What I can't figure out is why running in 4X4 on a dry road can cause a flip over.

Any explanation from the brain trust?
