    You could have got up there if you wanted, but would have grounded out when the front wheels drop down the other side. Then even a 4WD probably wouldn't have helped you.

    The Taco's long wheel base would have worked against you in this particular situation. I'm sure a short wheel base vehicle (Suzuki etc) would have walked it.

    You would of been shoveling something. The dirt pile you high centered on or the seat when that thing slide to the side. That weight would of kicked the edges of that pile out and...

    An A for effort...and there is that shadow cameraman again. He is in almost every video I've seen shot this way.

    cool man.............get you a locker and a small lift.....and you'll still have a better ride than all your friends have!!;) and you'll have a bit more fun wheeling and all. you could possibly keep that truck for longer than you thought.......unless you are dead set on the 4x4 like you were talking about, but until then......you got a great truck to have fun with!!:)

    Let PaintDoody do it first to see his technique. He should let you use his truck too. His idea, his truck, sounds like a even deal eh?
