We needed to decide how long the brake line would be for the front, so the plan was to stall the car at the top of the ramp (handbrake not working cause it wasn't long enough after SOA.) But the problem was that it was in low range and when i took my foot of the clutch it took off up the ramp and well, you know the rest.

BTW, i now know that i should have just turned the key off! :finger:

Damage was minimal with only scratches and dents ;)

So give me as much crap as you want, i dont care any more :finger:



Yes but did you have locker(s) engaged ??? A unlocked 4x4 should be stable enough that it will lift a wheel on each axle and stop moving long before it will flop. If you were unlocked then seems like you need to flatten out the springs and get some extra width.


It must of had just emough momentum to get to the point where all the wieght transfered to the front(Its a SWB so there really isnt that much weight over the rear wheels), so it just never ran out of grip.
