Can we do this in a stock 4runner?

Wow, pretty impressive!

and a tiltometer shot in there would have been good, who said that they claimed that was 85 degrees??

by the way, after looking at the video again, the steepness of the slope is exaggerated. I know the videos says its not, but if you look at the grass and shrubs on the rocks they are not straight up, just tilt your head to the right and you will probably agree with me.

I dont think so...watch the angle of the terrain in the picture's frame. Not once does the camera guy botch the faked angle. So either it's real, or that camera guy is hella talented at holding a camera slightly tiltes at exactly the same angle throughout a 2+ minute video...he even cuts between the ascent and decent and still holds the same angle! I think it's real!

Sorry, you can't pay me to do that in any vehicle! Yeah, i may go up it...if i had enough underwear stashed away in the car......but going down, i would kill before doing that!

However, IF i am force to go down, then i would pick Rubicon LONG-wheelbase due to the steepness (LWB over SWB) and 4:1 Transfer case. The 4:1 TC will be the key here...it is almost a "must-have" in these stuff. Going up, i would take the 2010 Trail (with CRAWL) or Rubicon LWB. For me, going up, i would lock every locker(s) i have...and the general rule for going down is: whatever you use to go up is what you use going down.

based on the thread about it.

Uh-oh, someone has jumped on the Rubicon bandwagon.... :bigok: John, just listen to me next time instead of arguing with me and you will be OK because sometimes, i do know what i am talking about! :naughty:
