Ive never seen a 2 wheel jeep before... I saw Pook once on one wheel, but that was a bit different. He was going downhill...
-
I've seen a few people try to get up that hill unsuccessfully, your brother made it look easy.
-
i got my jeep up there last fall .. its very very very scrary

You drove up the FACE of widowmaker? or did you drive up the backway that brings you to the top of widowmaker? i honestly believe that there is no way a jeep or truck can go up the face of widowmaker.
Please post pics and/or video. You will be a legend for doing it. i am bowing down to you right now!!!!!
-
it was the face as far as i know .. in the video of the guy on the dirt bike he went up dead center then he tried to the left .. i was just to the right side of the center trail . ill try to get the video from my friend she has it on her camera .. i hope she still does.
it was scary .. i have no reason not to admit to that
-
and good on the guy on the dirt bike .. its a long way up good throttle control

wow. i know of no one to do it. i know 1 guy on a polaris 800? renegade that did it, and i heard 4x4's trying but sucking out. Seriously, that has to be the tuffest climb ever for a 4x4. My hat is off to you sir.
-
I believe it because I know jeff.... He's as crazy as they come.
-
I would never take my jeep up there but my brother and i took our outlanders 800 up last year on the left side We made it. they r great and have tons of power for that hill.I made 5 runs on my 350xcf ktm yesterday and i still can't make it. A lot harder on a bike.

Yeah, I'll x2 this. I've ridden and wheeled with Jeff. :o
-
X3
I've stood by the trailside while surveying the miscellaneous damage and assorted broken parts after Jeff hot dogs on an obstacle. He's like Forrest Gump behind the wheel sometimes

thanks i guess.
-
thanks i guess.
It's definitely a compliment. You treat your Jeep like how I treat hotel furniture.
So, where's the vid/pics of you bitch-slappin Widow Maker?
-
i just got a hold of my friend today she had taken it on her iphone . but she deleted .. it
so that means i just have to go do it again :)
-
Post the date and time.... you got an audience now... and maybe some other crazies ready to follow you...
-
I second that Kevin. I will even scratch the brand new paint to go see that one!
-
im not a fan of mclean but i guess ill have to make a special event ..
-
I'll bring the camera gear. Have enough for one mid shot, one in cab and one from the bottom.

U all have tO remember my jeep is very llow running on 4 inch lift that is sagged nice and low
I'm not worried
-
Ask Gary with the long wheel based Toyota ( and his son) what he thinks of Widowmaker? It was close that they would not be around to talk to us about his experience.
I think you have nothing to loose or you got hit too hard on the noggen to do hills like that...Have you put a real roll cage on your Jeep Jeff yet or you are running on the stock one?
Maybe I've might have seen one too many close calls and even too many bloody dashes... it's definately not worth the riskfor me.
May be Doggie should go down it with a crazy carpet or a snow racer first ... ( ;D.. .)
anyways....That's my 2 cents...I'll shut up now.
-
I'll x2 on the not feeling the need to see you do this, and not worth the risk. No egging on from me, but best of luck if you decide to go again. :(

hahah ya i believe that
-
I used to climb that years ago on my kx250 before it got so tore up - gives me the shivers watching that guy go up it now. Nice riding
-
I have a hd camcorder and a first aid kit. Let me know when!
-
Do not think first aid kit will do any good. How bout remove the top , roll bar and seat belts. This way when you do roll you will be ejected safely and not be hurt. ;D ;D ;D

good thought but the plan is to never roll
