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.  :(

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

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
