Ha ha...
I was pretty happy today when I took my little brother out to have a spin in my old jigger, He near crapped his dacks when it hooked up and let rip with 1 wheel well off the ground, lol....as I was giving it some from the dirt to get to the tar turning left hand onto the hwy.. Woo hooo I said, lol....
Any body have that before.

In the GQ after I took off the swaybars going around a roundabout and planting the boot to see if the muddies would slide....

Ive done it in both my diesel and my V8, its far easier in the V8 though.
'RYAN' from this board and i were leaving repco penrith one day and he ripped the GQ to the right leaving the carpark and pulled the driverside up about a foot.
I tried the same thing ( SOA desiel on 35's at the time ) and ripped her over and got her higher than Ryans ( mind u he didnt try too hard )
that was fun.
i can lift the front wheels on the V8 by dumping it in Lowrange 2WD

Mates TD42T GQ on 35's lifts the inside front wheel about 2 feet off the ground on a section of windy road below my house at about 60km/hr. Helps having nice soft coils in the rear, so the opposite back corner can sit down on the bump stop :-)
Does the same when turning left at intersections and giving it a foot full in 2nd :-) Cops get all growly at ya when they catch you though :-(

Got foto of my 350 MK with both front wheels off the deck about half a foot on the road.... Never got a photo of it drifting with the skyline and Silvia but.... they recon 4x4's can't drift... I told em I beg to differ and showed em (glad I had stock springs then) They said theywere faster in a straight line.... I told em they were darn right - my car is nearly 2 tonnes and a 4x4... they have imported jap rice burning ashphalt scrapers... I told em as well I was more than happy to give them a straight line run in the paddock of my choice or a towing comp... would of been fun watching smash a $2000 bodykit or smoke a clutch... they can't seem to differ Patrols made for other things compared to their imports - told em mine didn't cost $3k a year in insurance and I fill my tank for $26 and get the same range as them.... I also told em when I pay $300 or so for a tkire I get my moneys worth of rubber...
Heard of a TPI Chev FJ40 pull wheel stand on big rubber and dshear axle sending wheel into shop window too in my local area - not sure if it is true but.
Merry christmas all....

When I had my MK (more than 10 years ago) I lifted both front wheels a couple of feet.
When it came down front wheels were cambered in at the top about 10 degrees,,, DOH.
Cost me $1000 back then for another axle housing. Couldnt even get the axles out.
