see i really want totry it with my rubicon but im hesitant for obvious reasons.

Hi Sandman, What happen to the two feet of snow I heard your state got? You really need to take picture from the side with something wethink is vertical like that lamp post in the back ground, or maybe haveyour son stand on the other side. I really doesn't look like much headon. Anyway, there's only one way to find out, just don't let it slidesideways, like

Hi Jeff, You won't roll over backwards after you loose traction unless youbrake it and catch traction again like when you rocked your Jeep on theLost Coyotes Indian Reservation. But if you refuse to let the front endback down than you may wind up like this Wannabee Jeep: God Bless America, ßill O|||||||Omailto: wrote:

You know I have actually seen Jeeps pop over the other side whenthe last ten to twenty feet was a truly vertical, not me. I have no ideahow that will happen just that I've seen it. I think what we are talkingabout here would be no more than forty five degrees, or one to one, noproblem. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||Omailto: wrote:

That guy continued full throttle even when sliding sideways and dug a hole for his rear wheel making a precarious off-camber situation disastrous.L.W.(ßill) Hughes III wrote:

He still braked it. I've been in that situation many times, when itpulls the front end up and to one side, that's the time I turn full lockin the direction I'm going with full throttle so when the front end doescome down it's spin the car so I'm headed back down hill. That trick islearned in the sand dunes, that give you the confidence to go and getside hilled because you, know with practice you can get back underneathit before it goes over.

... or, they can climb you to the point of roll over, at which point they won't help much after that.

I would make the trip down first. This will break off some of the verticle part so the trip up will be easier.

Hey Nathan. If you want I am willing to drive YOUR jeep just about anywhere. HA.

I bet it is drivable, and if it is not you would find out before you got too high and in trouble. Pull the front wheels up there and see how if feels. I have been shocked at some of the Moab obstacles that I have gone up,

I was thinking that the verticle portion at the top would raise the front too high, and let the TJ roll over backwards, despite the forward motion, or the lack of stopping reward motion.
