Yeah its possible, It will apply load to the wheel bearings, but for the small time its up there, its just like getting on a big side angle in the rocks. Without lockers you wont drive far on 2 wheels, but if you lock an axle, you could try to join a stunt driving school

Bushpig, you sure were lucky. I guess that's the risk with doing circle work in a SWB car with stiff suspension and a relatively high COG.
Lots of Sierras get totalled this way.
No, it won't damage anything in particular up on two wheels.... until it falls over.

In the picture with the graffiti, it looks like you almost made it to one wheel. Take a look close at how stuffed the front is and how the rear is pretty stretched.

at
www.suzukiinfo.com theres a big video about an american court case, some magazine published that zooks roll over too easily, but when asked to prove it they could barely get the thing to go up on 2 wheels no matter how hard they tried.

your bearing would cop more load during cornering at speed, than this
but its a cool party trick.

I am not sure, I was glad I had a passenger adding weight to the high side though.
Here is a couple from later that day, just a few shots of many flops.

And you are correct I almost bought the farm the G forces on the turn were such that I was going to to the roll the Zook Luckily I turned the steering and foot off the gas and it righted it self got video and as soon as I get time will post for every body to laugh at.

Not sure if these count, cos didn't stay on 2 wheels very long, before falling over on Ellis.
But on the Killer Hill, I was on 2 wheels, but doesn't look like it, and I had to back out :( no front locker.

Falling over is how I got my nickname christ-over
door handle kept touching the rock/ground
My best air was the same track, caught on the club dvd, on the same trip the year before. I can't convert it to anything pooterable, though, not enough ram.
