    That was pretty much how easy all 3 or 4 guys that tried it last summer did it.

    I think the crawler scraped a little here and there, but he didn't like to listen to his spotter and would do his own thing to make the obstacles more fun for him. haha. He was caged and the body was pretty beat up so he didn't care about scraping some rock.

    I am not super savvy on this stuff yet, but wouldn't that be hard on wheel bearings or suspension stuff or hubs or something, driving with all that pressure on the outsides of your tires?

    That part shouldn't be too bad. The next ledge that is at the bottom of the picture stands you up so much that if your ass isn't high enough it will high center your rear axle on your rear bumper. haha
