Land Rover Defender Climb

Pretty impressive if you ask me... Wonder if a 4runner could do it?

I'd say YES. Especially with at least one locking axle.

Of course, I wouldn't do it. Too chicken.

That's pretty cool. That's a hell of a second step up after the ramps.That's where you get that nervous tingle in your stomach!

The ramp has lips on the sides that keep the tires in the groove, so there is almost no danger of falling off the edge. The ramp design assures that the approach, departure, and breakover angles work with the Land Rover. There appears to be pretty good traction on the ramps, so I think that most any 4x4 with decent approach and departure angles, good sticky tires, and at least one locking differential, could make it up.

The really hard thing is having the guts to actually do it. I think that backing back down it would be worse than going up...

I would rather do it in a Tacoma then a 4Runner. Long wheelbase is nicer for the steep climbs.
